13. With regard to the remaining nine Conventions in the annex to Con- vention No. 83, not all of which have been ratified by the United Kingdom Government, it is possible to accept wholly or partly for the great majority of territories the Conventions dealing with the minimum age of employment in industry, at sea, or as trimmers or stokers, the medical examination of young persons employed at sea, and workmen's compensation. The Underground Work Women) Convention can be accepted or is inapplicable owing to local conditions. But it is not possible to accept in any wide degree the Maternity Protection Convention. The Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention is either covered by existing legislation in Colonial territories or, where not so covered, is observed in practice.
