Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

These regulations confirm that earlier Women’s Employment Regulations and the Women’s Employment Board’s past decisions about women’s wages and conditions remain legally valid despite a later Parliamentary disallowance.

They protect women workers and employers from disruption by ensuring arrangements made under the Board’s authority cannot be invalidated solely because the intervening regulations were cancelled.
