The Committee notes the Government's report dated 28 May 1992 and the information supplied by the Government to the Conference Committee in June 1992.

1. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report to the effect that the provisions relating to resignation contained in section 71 of Act No. 40 of 1974 respecting service in the armed forces and in section 108 of Act No. 55 of 1976 respecting the public service are contrary to the Convention and have been submitted to the competent authorities with a view to their modification. It also notes the information supplied by the Government to the Conference Committee that the restrictions placed on the freedom of public servants and members of the armed forces to leave their employment will be re-examined.

The Committee hopes that the envisaged modifications will ensure that the various categories of persons in the service of the State are free to leave its service at their own initiative within a reasonable period of time either at specified intervals or with previous notice. It requests the Government to supply information on the progress made in the work of revising these texts.

2. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comments on training for employment in reformation centres.

3. The Committee notes that the Worker members of the Conference Committee commented, with regard to the freedom of workers to leave their employment, that the information on the situation of Sri Lankan women employed in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya was disquieting. It notes that the Government representative stated that he had no information on that subject. It also notes that the Conference Committee expressed the hope that the Government would keep the ILO informed by means of a report containing detailed information.

The Committee requests the Government to supply full and detailed information on this subject. It also requests the Government to supply the text of the regulations applicable to domestic workers under section 1(b) of the Labour Code.
