Sir,
DRAFT
MOTION
by the Honourable J.N. Henderson, OBE, JP
Secretary for Education and Manpower
at the Legislative Council on 15th May 1985
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING (CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY) ORDINANCE
I rise to move the second motion standing in my name on
the Order Paper.
The Construction Industry Authority has been informed
of the recommendation of the Pneumoconiosis Compensation Fund Board
to raise the levy threshold under the Pneumoconiosis (Compensation)
Ordinance, and supports, for the same reasons, a similar adjustment
to the levy threshold set under the Industrial Training (Construction
Industry) Ordinance.
Accordingly, a draft resolution under section 22 of the
Industrial Training (Construction Industry) Ordinance has been
prepared to raise the limit for any construction work not liable to
the levy, with effect from 1st June 1985, from $250,000 to $1 million.
Sir, I beg to move.
