# The Industrial Training Levy (Construction Industry) Order (Northern Ireland) 2007, Introduction: Introductory text


INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
Made 18th July 2007
Coming into operation 31st August 2007
This Order is made to give effect to levy proposals submitted by the Construction Industry Training Board (“the Board”) to the Department for Employment and Learning (“the Department”) pursuant to Article 23(1) of the Industrial Training (Northern Ireland) Order 1984 (“the Order of 1984”).
As required by Article 23(3) of the Order of 1984, the levy proposals include proposals for exempting from the levy any employer who, in view of the small amount of the relevant emoluments, ought in the opinion of the Department to be exempted.
The levy proposals include proposals that no remission be given to employers in the construction industry. Accordingly, Article 23(6) of the Order of 1984 applies to this Order.
In relation to the requirements set out in Article 23(6) of the Order of 1984, the Department is satisfied that the levy proposals are necessary to encourage adequate training in the industry and the condition in Article 23(7)(a) is satisfied.
The Department estimates that the levy to be paid by any employer in the industry does not exceed an amount which the Department estimates is equal to one per cent of the relevant emoluments. Accordingly, this Order does not fall within Article 23(8) of the Order of 1984.
The Department makes the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by Articles 23(2) and 24(3) and (4) of the Order of 1984 and now vested in it.
