The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. Article 3, paragraph 1. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures that it intends taking to ensure that the minimum age for admission to any type of employment or work which by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out is likely to jeopardize the health, safety or morals of young persons is not less than 18 years, in accordance with this provision of the Convention.

2. The Committee notes that section E11 of the Labour Code provides that the Minister responsible for the application of labour legislation may make regulations to improve the application of the provisions of Division E of the Labour Code, which concerns the employment of women, young persons and children. It requests the Government to provide a copy of any regulations adopted in relation to the employment or work of children and young persons which impinges upon the application of the Convention.
