With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction the indication in the Government's report that section 2(c) and 2A(a) of the Youth Labour Act was amended in 1995 and brought into line with the requirements of Article 7(1) of the Convention by limiting the exceptional employment of a child between 14 and 15 years of age only to light work which is not likely to be harmful to his health or development and only during official school holidays. It asks the Government to send a copy of the Act that amended the Youth Labour Act.
