Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments regarding section 51 of the Employment Decree of 1975 providing for the exception of apprentices from the prohibition of underground work, the Committee notes from the Government's reply that an amendment has been prepared to the Employment Decree which prescribes that no young person under the age of 16 years shall be employed or work underground in mines, in conformity with the Convention. The Committee trusts that this amendment will be adopted in the near future and that the Government will provide a copy of it.

Article 4, paragraph 5, of the Convention. Please supply a specimen copy of the special register kept by the employer employing young persons under section 55 of the Employment Decree and section 41 of the Employment Regulations.
