Explanatory note

This Order amends the Dock Workers (Regulation of Employment) Scheme 1947, as varied in 1960, 1961, 1967, and 1980. The 1947 Scheme as varied is set out in Schedule 2 to the Dock Workers (Regulation of Employment) (Amendment) Scheme 1967 and is now known as the Dock Workers Employment Scheme 1967 (“the 1967 Scheme”). Paragraph (3) of Clause 1 of the 1967 Scheme was amended by paragraph 3 of the Schedule to the Dock Workers (Regulation of Employment) (Amendment) Order 1980.

This Order varies the application of the 1967 Scheme so that on the transfer of the property, rights and liabilities of the British Steel Corporation to the successor company under the British Steel Act 1988, the Scheme shall continue not to apply to certain work at the Port of Hunterston.
