    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Government is aware that sandblasting technology used in manufacture of faded jeans can cause some health problems to the workers. However, the sandblasting technology is no longer being applied to manufacture clothing at the EPZ since there is no longer demand for sandblasted jeans. (b) The Government is also aware that most international clothing companies have stopped using this technology as of December, 2010. In view of the re-discontinued requirements for faded jeans, there exists no company at the moment using this technology. (c) There is no danger posed to young people who wear these jeans because the health related complications would only arise during the manufacturing process. (d) The Government also ensures that all manufacturers operate in accordance with the occupational health and safety regulations which stipulate the working environment in relation to assessing risks. In future, any new application to operate using this technology shall not be licensed. Thank you."
