to 7 a.m.).
This gives effect to the main
provision of both Conventions Nos.4 and 6.
Further-
more, it will enable the revised Convention (No.41
flagged in Cmd.4714 annexed) concerning the
employment of women during the night, regarding which
we have recently consulted Colonial Governments by
circular despatch, to be applied to Hong Kong
without modification.
In addition, paragraph 7 of the Schedule to
the Ordinance reproduces the Regulation made on the
20th September, 1936 (flagged in volume annexed) under
the Factories and Workshops Ordinance No.27 of 1932
(now repealed by the new Ordinance) prohibiting the
employment of any female on underground work in mines
in accordance with the International Labour Convention
(No.45) dealing with this matter.
Subject to legal observations and to any
comments which the Eastern Department may have to
make on the Ordinance, the Ordinance ? may be
sanctioned by G/3.
