With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that, according to the Government, a Bill is now being examined, to amend the legislation in force which is not in conformity with the Convention. The Committee therefore hopes that the Bill will be enacted in the near future, giving effect to Article 2 of the Convention, under which the minimum age for admission to employment applies to all occupations and types of work; and to Article 6 which permits work done for training by persons at least 14 years of age in industrial undertakings.

The Committee asks the Government to forward the above text as soon as it has been adopted. The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government on Article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Please provide a copy of the text governing penalties in this respect.
