Remarks

To hold medical examinations for all young persons under 18 befc- being admitted for industrial employment is considered impract cable and unnecessary.

ད་

ages records are being kept by employers in a variety of forms which meet their own requirement: There is no statutory requirement to keep such records in a pres- cribed manner, and a standardise format is not considered necessa at present.

The existence of a wage ceiling for non-manual workers enders compliance impossible. Serious difficulties are also expected i the movie industry as regards the length of contracts of employmer: as well as the safeguard in the freedom of choice in employment.

Linked with policy on trade unior amalgamation and affiliation with organisations established outside Hong Kong. In local circumstance- such restrictions are considered necessary.

Complete prohibition of night wor would jeopardise industries on
