The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes from the Government's report that the Protection of Wages Act of 1973 continues to apply and no regulations have been made under the principal legislation since 1973.

1. Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee refers to section 23(1) of the Protection of Wages Act, 1973, under which "nothing in this Act shall render illegal an agreement or contract with a worker for giving to him as a remuneration for his services, allowance or privileges in addition to his regular wages" leaving employers and workers free to agree on the giving of such allowances and privileges as part of the worker's remuneration. It asks the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to bring the legislation into conformity with the provisions of Article 4 of the Convention (regulation of payment in kind).

2. Article 7. The Committee notes that section 31 of the Protection of Wages Act of 1973 prescribes regulatory authority with regard to the control of employer stores and services, including the control of prices. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the measures taken (including penalties prescribed) or under consideration to ensure that such goods and services are provided at fair and reasonable prices.
