| Message | "We cannot agree to banning child labour. Currently we consider people to be adults at the age of 18, if this were to pass then say a 16 year old who wanted to get a paper round would not be able to. Furthermore we do not wish to lower to retirement age as it would stand in the way of the enonomic regeneration of the nation." -- Bálint Mohnhaupt, Minister for Trade and Industry |

| Message | We would not consider a child's paper route child labour - the bill would not include small, part-time jobs of the kind normally performed by children. Rather, it would only forbid a child from working a full work week at an age where the child is obligated to be in school. |
