Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1991, publiée 78ème session CIT (1991)

The Committee notes that the Government has instituted a Committee to review the 1975 Labour Act, and that that Committee's attention will be drawn to the Committee of Experts' comments on this Convention.

The Committee recalls that, for a number of years, the Government has been indicating its intention to revise the 1975 labour legislation. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will take all necessary steps to ensure that amendments to the Labour Act are adopted in the near future in order to give effect to the provisions of this Convention. In this connection, the Committee again recalls that when the Labour Act of 1975 was adopted it repealed the Labour Clauses in Public Contracts Ordinance of 1964. The Committee again suggests that the Government consider the possibility of taking the above Ordinance into account in the review of the Labour Act. The Committee asks the Government to indicate any progress made in this regard in its next report.
