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.
