Hours of Work of Women and Young Persons.

I am glad to note that Executive Council

have approved the reference to the Labour

Advisory Board of the proposed amendments to

the Factory and Industrial Undertakings

icqizlaria. Regulations

I am therefore anxious that these amending unication

regulations should be introduced with the

minimum of delay and I should be grateful
