These Regulations:—

(a)prescribe the only circumstances in which children (i.e. persons under school-leaving age) may be employed in a ship;

(b)prescribe the conditions under which young persons (i.e. persons, including children, up to 18) may be employed in a ship;

The Regulations re-enact, with modifications, certain provisions in section 1 of, and Part IV of the Schedule to, the Employment of Women, Young Persons and Children Act 1920 and the Merchant Shipping (International Labour Conventions) Act 1925.
