(3) If, at the time when a price scheme is under consideration by the Cotton Industry Board, any representation which they are required to take into consideration before transmitting the scheme to the Board of Trade is made to them to the effect that, if the scheme were then in force, the operation thereof would have the result that persons required to be registered there under who carry on business in the industy at a place in the United Kingdom outside the area within which the majority of the persons required to be so registered carry on business in the industry, would be under a disability in respect of their so carrying on business by reason of matters arising on account of the distance of that place from that area, it shall be the duty of the Cotton Industry Board to inquire into the question whether the operation of the scheme; would have that result, and to report specially to the Board of Trade their decision on that inquiry; and, if they decide that the operation of the scheme would have that result they shall specify in the report the modifications (if any) which they think ought to be made in the scheme for the purpose of avoiding the said result.
