EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1950 - SECT 5

Payments towards cost of removal and resettlement of workers.

5.(1) Subject to the approval of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry may,
for the purposes of its functions under section one of this Act, make
provision by way of grant or loan or otherwise

(a)for facilitating the removal of any persons, with or without their
dependants, to or from any place in Northern Ireland for the purpose of
obtaining employment;

(b)for the maintenance and welfare of persons so removed in the course of
their removal or pending their resettlement, and, in the case of persons
removed to any place in Northern Ireland, for their resettlement;

(c)where any persons removed as aforesaid for the purpose of obtaining
employment fail to obtain employment, or employment obtained by persons so
removed comes to an end, for facilitating the further removal of those
persons, with or without their dependants, to any place whether in Northern
Ireland or elsewhere.

(2) Where an industrial undertaking (in this sub-section referred to as "the
new undertaking") is being established in Northern Ireland by way of extension
of, or in connection with, or by way of the transfer of the whole or part of,
another industrial undertaking, wherever carried on, and on an application
made in that behalf the Ministry is satisfied

(a)that the new undertaking is likely to create employment in Northern
Ireland; and

(b)that the transfer of any person to employment in the new undertaking from
employment in the other undertaking will facilitate the establishment of
the new undertaking;

(i)such transfer of employment as if it were the obtaining of employment; and

(ii)the cesser of employment of that person in the new undertaking as if it
were the coming to an end of employment, notwithstanding that such cesser is
for the purpose of enabling that person to continue in employment elsewhere.

(3) Where any payment by way of loan has been made by the Ministry under this
section to or in respect of any person, [who satisfies the contribution
conditions set out in paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to [the Social Security
(Northern Ireland) Act, 1975]], on account of expenses of travelling to any
place for the purpose of obtaining employment, [the Department of Health and
Social Services] may, whether or not that person obtains employment at that
place, repay out of the Northern Ireland National Insurance Fund such part of
the advance as may be prescribed by regulations made by [the Department of
Health and Social Services] with the consent of the Ministry of Finance; and
except as provided by the following provisions of this section, any sum so
repaid out of the Northern Ireland National Insurance Fund shall not be
recoverable from the person to whom the loan was made.

(4) If, in the event of employment being found for a person to or in respect
of whom any such payment as is mentioned in the last foregoing sub-section has
been made, that person either fails without reasonable excuse to enter on that
employment, or within seven days of entering on it, leaves that employment
without reasonable excuse, the sum repaid under the last foregoing sub-section
out of the Northern Ireland National Insurance Fund may be recovered from him
or deducted from any unemployment benefit, sickness benefit [invalidity
benefit or retirement pension under [the Social Security (Northern Ireland)
Act 1975]], which may thereafter become payable to him.

(5) Any sums recoverable under the last foregoing sub-section may, without
prejudice to any other remedy, be recovered by the Ministry summarily as a
civil debt and any sums recovered under that sub-section shall be paid into
the Northern Ireland National Insurance Fund.
