Article 6 of the Order (length of service exceptions), as inserted by this Order, provides that none of the matters contained in that article is a breach of the non-discrimination rule or is an age contravention, as applicable.\nAn Impact Assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities or voluntary bodies.",
