The Committee has been commenting on the application of Article 3, paragraph 3, of the Convention, which requires provision of full protection and specific instruction or vocational training in the relevant branch of activity to young persons over 16 years employed on any type of employment or work likely to jeopardise their health, safety or morals. In the absence of information in the Government's report, the Committee asks it to state whether amendments have been made or envisaged to the second part of the schedule to the Employment of Young Persons Regulations (prohibited and restricted occupations for children under 16 years of age) so as to bring it into line with the above requirements of the Convention.

With reference to its observation, the Committee hopes that the related regulations to be made under the revised Youth Labour Act will be promulgated as soon as possible to specify the activities permitted as light work under the amended provisions of the Youth Labour Act and to prescribe other conditions for such employment, including the number of hours in accordance with Article 7, paragraph 3, of the Convention. It requests the Government to supply their copy when adopted.

The Committee notes the Government's statement that there are few children who seek employment during the period of their compulsory education. It would appreciate it if the Government would continue to supply information on the application of the Convention in practice, including for instance statistical data, extracts from official reports and information on the number and nature of contraventions reported, in accordance with point V of the report form.
