Notice of Provisional Plan for Storage-battery Manufacturing and Assembling Industry.

In the matter of the Industrial Efficiency Act, 1936.

WHEREAS, pursuant to section 9 of the above-entitled Act, the Minister of Industries and Commerce instructed the Bureau of Industry to prepare an industrial plan for the organization of the industry referred to in the Industry Licensing (Storage-battery Manufacture) Notice 1938, as “the manufacture and/or assembly of secondary or storage cells and batteries commonly known as wet batteries, or any part or parts thereof”:

And whereas the Bureau thereupon proceeded to prepare a provisional plan and submitted the same to the Minister:

And whereas in the opinion of the Minister the appointment of a Special Industrial Committee is desirable in connection with the said industrial plan:

Now, therefore, pursuant to the said Act, the Minister hereby gives public notice that the material proposals contained in the plan are as follows:—

1. The organization of the industry will be effected by means of—

(a) The maintenance of the licensing system now in force.

(b) The continued application to the said industry of the Licensed Industries General Regulations 1940 as modified by the proposed special regulations hereinafter referred to.

(c) The appointment of an Industrial Committee not exceeding nine members in manner to be prescribed by the proposed special regulations.

2. The Industry Licensing (Storage-battery Manufacture) Notice 1938 will continue in force with the consequence that the industry will be able to be carried on only pursuant to a license issued under Part III of the said Act and in conformity with the terms and conditions of such license.

3. The Minister will respectfully recommend the Governor-General to make regulations in the terms set out in the Schedule hereto (herein called “the proposed special regulations”), and will move the Executive Council to give its advice and consent to the making of the proposed special regulations.

4. In accordance with the provisions of section 9 of the said Act, the regulations in relation to the plan as finally approved by the Minister will not be brought into force unless the Governor-General in Council is satisfied that the material proposals contained in the plan and in the regulations have been submitted to and have been approved by a majority of the persons engaged as principals in the industry, or have been approved by persons employing a majority of the workers engaged in the industry.

And it is further notified that the Minister will forthwith after the 27th day of June, 1941, refer to the Bureau for consideration any recommendations or objections relating to this provisional plan that may be received by him pursuant to the said Act, and all such recommendations or objections should accordingly be delivered to the Minister not later than the last-mentioned date.
