HC Deb 02 August 1978 vol 955 cc438-9W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give the number of schoolchildren in recent years killed and injured as a result of their employment; and it he will give a break-down in the Official Report.

Mr. Moyle

I regret that this information is not available.

Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will issue advice to local education authorities to circulate schools in their area giving guidance on reasonable conditions for the employment of schoolchildren.

Mr. Moyle

Guidance on conditions was included in a circular on the employment of children issued to local authorities in March 1976. Whether this should be circulated to schools is a matter for local education authorities.
