GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. 15th November, 1922,
With reference to the correspondence noted
Secretary of State's Circular despatch
of 13th August, 1921. Governor's despatch No. 415 of the
14th November, 1921.
Toas

in the margin, I have the honour
to inform you that the Conventio fixing the minimum age of the admission of children to industrial employment has now been partially adopted in this Colony and the Industrial
Employment of Children Ordinance (No.22 of 1922) forwarded
in my despatch No.330 of the 3rd October, 1922, has been
enacted to adapt the Convention to local conditions.
2..
It has not been considered possible to fix
a greater age than that of 10 years as the minimum age fr
the admission of children into factories, 12 years as the
minimum for the carrying of coal and heavy loads, and 15 !
years in the case of any dangerous trades. Other regulations provide for a limitation of the period of work, for an interval of relaxation during the day and
for one day's rest in every seven days.
3.
The Convention concerning the night work
of young persons employed in industry has also been partially adopted in that provision is made that no child under 15 years of age may be employed in an industrial undertaking between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.

THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE, K.G.,
