176: Persons holding employer licences

You could also call this:

"People who already have a licence to employ plumbers, gasfitters, and drainlayers"

Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You hold an employer licence if you had one before this law started. Your licence is like one issued under Part 2 of this law. You can renew it under Part 2. Your licence expires on the date it would have expired before this law. It lets you allow employees to do gasfitting work. Your licence has the same conditions as before. The Board can still cancel or suspend your licence under subpart 2 of Part 2. They can use other powers under this law too.
