HC Deb 12 March 1997 vol 292 c269W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he expects to bring forward proposals for regulation of child labour in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement. [19604]

Mr. Burns

A comprehensive legal system has been in place for many years to protect children who choose to work. Regulations are being prepared to begin the process of implementing the minor changes to current law necessary to fully conform with a European Community directive on the protection of young people at work.
