Hon. (Mrs.) Oshani Umanga posed a two-part supplementary question directed at the Minister regarding the handling of child labour complaints received in Sri Lanka and the steps taken by the Ministry to eradicate child labour. She also referenced the Minister's recent participation in an international conference on eliminating child labour, implicitly seeking an account of any commitments or outcomes from that engagement.

Hon. Speaker, my second supplementary is this: How are child-labour-related complaints received in Sri Lanka being handled? You recently travelled abroad to participate in a conference on eliminating child labour. What steps has the Ministry taken to eradicate child labour?
