The Committee notes that a restructuring of the Government took place in 2010 and consequently, the labour administration functions of the former Department of Trade and Industry passed to a new larger Department of Economic Development. While noting the Government’s indication that in general, there has been continuity of policy in respect of labour administration, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide more detailed information on the impact of the Government restructuring on the effective operation of the labour administration, and transmit an organigram of the new Department of Economic Development.

The Committee takes note of the correspondence exchanged between the Isle of Man Trade Union Council (MTUC) and the Isle of Man Chief Minister with regard to the functioning of the Manx National Economic Development Council (MNEDC). The Committee requests the Government to keep the ILO informed of the functioning and activities of the MNEDC as well as their impact, and to provide a copy of the annual report of this body, if available.

The Committee also notes with interest from the exchange of correspondence between the Government and the MNEDC, that in a letter dated 12 March 2010, the Chief Minister accepted that the MNEDC ought to be included in the list of bodies to be consulted under the Code of Practice on Consultations and that arrangements would be made to update the list accordingly as soon as practicable. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would keep the ILO informed of progress made in revising the Code of Practice on Consultations so as to include the MNEDC in the list of bodies to be consulted.
