With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that the legislation referred to in the Government's reports have been extended to the tribal areas. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on any other decision taken to extend national legislation to the tribal areas.

The Committee also notes with interest the development programme for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and the special development programme for the FATA/PATA (Provincially Administered Tribal Areas). The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to provide information in its future reports on the progress made in implementing these programmes.

Lastly, the Committee recalls that it requested the Government to indicate the situation of the legislation concerning labour and the supervision of employment conditions in the above-mentioned regions (Article 15 of the Convention). The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to provide information on this subject in its future reports.
