(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Price Marking (Food) Order 1978 by providing that the exemption contained in article 2(2)(a) in relation to food sold in a shop and either handed to the purchaser or delivered as the purchaser may direct shall only apply where the number of regular full-time employees normally required to work in the shop is no more than two. For this purpose, full-time employment is regarded as a requirement of sixteen or more hours' work per week (the minimum fixed by section 146(4) of the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978, as amended by the Employment Act 1982, for an employee to qualify inter alia for a right to written particulars of terms of employment and itemised pay statements).
1974 c. 24; section 4 was amended by the Price Commission Act 1977 (c. 33), section 16(2).
S.I. 1978/738.
