For a number of years the Committee has been drawing the Government’s attention to the need to render statutory that, in accordance with Article 3, paragraph 2, of the Convention, an X-ray film of the lungs shall be required on the occasion of the initial medical examination and, when regarded as medically necessary, on the occasion of subsequent re-examinations of persons under 21 years of age and that, in accordance with Article 4, paragraph 4, the records containing suitable information, in respect of persons under 21 years of age, shall be kept and made available to inspectors and to the workers’ representatives, at their request.

The Committee recalls that the Government’s earlier reports had referred to the ongoing work of the Labour Review Committee which was being carried out with the technical assistance of the ILO and that it was at its last stages. In its last report the Government indicates that the work of revising, updating and completing the drafts has begun, and that this exercise will not take long, that it will be carried out expeditiously and intensively in order to enable the completed draft bills to be forwarded to Government and Parliament for consideration and adoption.

The Committee trusts that this legislative revision will shortly be completed with the adoption of the new texts and that the revised texts will meet the requirements of the abovementioned provisions of the Convention. The Committee further trusts that the Government will not fail to send copies of the new texts of laws when adopted.
