(1B) In a case where the employer determines in the course of the review that affirmative action would be reasonable and appropriate he shall as part of the review—

  1. (a) consider whether, assuming the action is taken, it is practicable to determine, by reference to one or more periods, the progress towards fair participation in employment in the concern that can reasonably be expected to be made by members of a particular community, and
  2. (b) if he considers that it is practicable to determine such progress, determine the period or periods concerned and, in respect of each period, the progress that, in his opinion, can reasonably be expected to be made by members of the community concerned in relation to the composition of—
    3. 1196
    1. (i) those employed in the concern in Northern Ireland or those whose employment in the concern in Northern Ireland begins after the determination, and
    2. (ii) those applying for such employment.'.—[Mr.Viggers.]
