Protection Of Children At Work

EDM number 712 in 1997-98, proposed by Chris Pond on 29/01/1998.

That this House is concerned by the extent of illegal child employment in the UK; recognises that almost two million school age children have some form of employment; acknowledges that for many this employment is a positive experience, encouraging independence and responsibility; but is concerned that three quarters of working children are employed illegally and that many of these may risk physical harm or educational disadvantage; and welcomes the Employment of Children Bill which seeks to limit working hours to 12 each week and to provide greater protection for Britain's school-age workforce.

This motion has been signed by a total of 177 MPs, 5 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
