Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Ratification: 1949)

The Committee refers also to its observation and trusts that the Government will not fail to provide all available information on the point raised in its general observation of 1999 concerning the role of labour inspectors in supervising the implementation of legislation on child labour. It asks the Government to ensure that relevant information and statistics are given in future annual reports of the inspection services and to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to provide labour inspectors with the means of seeking out hidden forms of child labour and of contributing to the formulation of policy and the adoption of legislation to fill any legal voids, in order to combat abusive forms of child labour.
