LABOUR (PRESCRIBED FORMS) REGULATIONS, 1956

Mr Lim Yew Hock: Sir, I rise to move the motion standing in my name.

That this Assembly, pursuant to section 174 of the Labour Ordinance, 1955 (No. 40 of 1955), resolves that the Labour (Prescribed Forms) Regulations, 1956, published as Notification No. S 22 in the Gazette Supplement No. 5 of 26th January, 1956, and as contained in Sessional Paper No. S.L. 5 of 1956 be approved.

Sir, this motion is a non-controversial one. The Regulations referred to therein simply provide for the forms necessary:

(i) to register a child or young person employed in any industrial undertaking;

(ii) to declare that the Commissioner for Labour is satisfied that a person has completed his sixteenth year of age and is so able to accept employment without registration; and

(iii) to make a Certificate of Order under section 149 (1) of the Labour Ordinance, 1955.

Mr Mak Pak Shee: I second the motion.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved,

That this Assembly, pursuant to section 174 of the Labour Ordinance, 1955 (No. 40 of 1955), resolves that the Labour (Prescribed Forms) Regulations, 1956, published as Notification No. S 22 in the Gazette Supplement No. 5 of 26th January, 1956, and as contained in Sessional Paper No. S.L. 5 of 1956 be approved.
