Short title.

7.(1) Where the workmen engaged in an industry to which this Act applies are
paid according to the measure of material produced, handled, or gotten by
them, the provisions of this Act shall apply in like manner as if the term
"weighing" included measuring, and the terms relating to weighing shall be
construed accordingly.

(2) For the purposes of this Act, the workmen engaged in removing the topsoil
from chalk or limestone quarries preparatory to the getting of chalk or
limestone shall be deemed to be workmen engaged in getting chalk or limestone.

the workmen are entitled to appoint a check weigher they may appoint one or
more checkweighers.

(4) Where under the regulations contained in the First Schedule to this Act
any matter may be determined by agreement between the employer and the workmen
of any class, the agreement may be made between the employer and a majority of
the workmen of that class, and when so made shall, whilst in force, be binding
on all the workmen of that class, notwithstanding that any of the workmen may
have ceased to be, and others may have become, workmen of that class.

(5) In this Act the expression "prescribed" means prescribed by the Secretary
of State.
