15 Clause 4, page 4, line 12, at end insert— (2E) The Secretary of State may by order amend (or having made one or more previous orders under this subsection, further amend), by substituting some other number, the number of hours laid down in subsection (2D)(a) or the number of tons laid down in subsection (2D)(b) above. (2F) An order shall not be made under subsection (2E) above unless a draft of it has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House.

16 The Commons disagreed to this Amendment for the following Reason:

Because they would exclude areas within which work should be capable of being considered for classification.
