The Committee notes that no report has been received from the Government. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request.

The Committee noted from the Government's report received in 1991 that a revision of the national labour legislation was being undertaken by the Labour Legislation Review Committee with the technical assistance of the ILO. It requests the Government to supply information on any development in this respect and, in particular, on any measures that are taken concerning the application of the following provisions of the Convention.

Article 3, paragraph 3, of the Convention. The Committee noted that section 42 of the 1977 Employment Regulations (Statutory Instrument No. 41) provides that persons under 21 years of age who are employed in mines shall pass a medical examination at the time of recruitment and subsequent periodical examinations at intervals of not more than one year. The Committee noted that this provision does not provide for the requirement, in accordance with Article 3, paragraph 2, of the Convention, of an X-ray film of the lungs on the occasion of the initial medical examination, nor during subsequent re-examinations.

The Committee hopes that the new legislation will give effect to the Convention on this point.

Article 4, paragraph 4. The Committee hopes that the new legislation will give effect to this provision of the Convention which provides for the keeping of records in respect of persons under 21 years of age containing a certificate that attests fitness for employment.
