+*The Lord Brockway To ask Her Majesty's Government what action is being taken by the Hong Kong Labour Department to combat the increase in child labour, and whether an investigation is being made into the allegation of Triad Society involvement in the recruitment of such labour.
The Hong Kong Labour Department is carrying out a progressively
increasing number of inspections of factories in order to detect
whether there is illegal employment of child labour and to bring
offending employers before the Courts. Over 120,000 such visits
about were carried out in 1975, as compared with nearly 76,000 in 1973.
The Royal Hong Kong Police have not received any complaints that
organised Triad societies are involved in recruiting child labour.
