Further to its previous observation, the Committee notes the Government's report, including information on the application of some of the provisions of the Convention. It notes the indication in the report that it embarked on a labour law reform project with the technical assistance of the ILO, and that the revision of the Labour Act included in this project, will eventually be submitted to the National Assembly.
The Committee recalls that, for a number of years, the Government has been indicating its intention to revise the 1975 labour legislation. It also recalls that the Labour Act of 1975 repealed the Labour Clauses in Public Contracts Ordinance of 1964, which had previously given effect to the provisions of the Convention. The Committee again suggests that the Government consider the possibility of taking the provisions of the above Ordinance into account in the review of the Labour Act.
The Committee can only reiterate the hope 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 ensure the insertion of labour clauses in public contracts in accordance with Article 2 of this Convention, and it asks the Government to report any progress made.
