Subject to sub-paragraph (2), where a board—

(b)

that organisation has formed a view as to whether the proposals are necessary,

the board may treat relevant persons represented by that organisation as having the same view about the proposals as the organisation.

(2)

Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply where a prescribed organisation consulted by a board has not taken reasonably practicable steps to ascertain the views of relevant persons that it represents prior to forming its view on the levy proposals.
