HL Deb 15 October 1996 vol 574 c182WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will set up an enquiry to investigate whether the law on the employment of children is being broken.

Baroness Cumberlege

We see no need for such an enquiry. Local authorities are best placed to assess the extent of any local problems with children's employment, and to address them appropriately.
