The Committee notes with regret 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 following matters raised in its previous direct request:

Article 4, paragraph 1, of the Convention. In previous comments, the Committee referred to section 2 of the Protection of Wages Ordinance (Amendment) Act No. 13 of 1975, under which "nothing in this Act shall render illegal any agreement or contract with a worker for the partial payment of his wages (...) in the form of intoxicating liquor or noxious drugs". It noted the statement made by the Government concerning the measures taken to amend this provision.

The Committee noted from the Government's earlier report that in practice wages were not paid in the form of liquor or drugs. It noted, however, that no information had been supplied on the amendment of section 2 mentioned above to meet the requirements of Article 4, paragraph 1, of the Convention which prohibits in any circumstances the payment of wages in the form of liquor of high alcoholic content or of noxious drugs.

The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to indicate that the necessary amendments have been made to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention.
