SHOPS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1946 - SECT 27

Power to regulate employment in spells.

27. If the Ministry is satisfied that it is necessary to make provision for
preventing the hours of employment of a young person from being so divided
into spells so as to deprive him of reasonable opportunities for instruction
and recreation, it may by regulations made under this Act direct that, subject
to such exceptions and modifications as may be provided by the regulations,
the working hours of any young person shall (notwithstanding anything in the
definition of "working hours" contained in this Act) be deemed, for the
purposes of this Part of this Act, to include the period from the time at
which that person first begins on any day to be employed about the business of
a shop until the time at which he last ceases on that day to be so employed,
exclusive only

(a)of such intervals, whether for rest or meals or otherwise, as exceed
half-an-hour in duration; and

(b)of time allowed for attendance at such instructional courses, as may be
specified in the regulations.
