• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I disagree with the Minister’s statistics on child labour. The child labour statistics for the year 2000 showed a figure of 1.647 million. However, based on his answer to part “c” of the Question, he says that the Ministry is preparing a number of clauses to protect children from labour exploitation. Part “e” of the Question states that the Ministry has field labour officers across the country conducting regular labour inspection. Has the Ministry made any arrest of any companies or individuals, who continue to exploit child labour in our country? Does he have the numbers? view
