(3) Any amendments of the relevant report which, with respect to any of those descriptions of teachers, are contained in an order under this section may be either by way of substitution for, or by way of the deletion or variation of, or addition to, any of the scales or other provisions contained in the relevant report; or contained in that report as amended by any previous order under this section which is for the time being in force; and in subsection (1) of this section the reference to the relevant report as amended by the order shall be construed accordingly.

(4) Every order made under this section in relation to any description of teachers shall include provision for securing that the remuneration payable to any teacher of that description in respect of any period to which the order applies is not less than it would have been if the order had not been made.

(5) Any order under this section which is made before the 1st August 1963, and provides that it shall take effect as from the 1st April 1963, shall be deemed to have had effect as the last-mentioned date, and the remuneration of teachers to whom the order applies shall be deemed to have been payable accordingly.
