And whereas the said Secretary of State, as a result of carrying out in the tax year 1982–83 a review of the general level of earnings pursuant to subsections (2) and (3) of section 120 of the said Act, has determined that an order should be made under that section amending Part I of the said Act by altering the lower and upper limits of profits or gains to be taken into account for Class 4 contributions;
