With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's indication in its report that the draft amendment of the Employers and Employed Rules was, according to the Law Officers' Department, approved by Cabinet in 1981 and sent to the Government Printer for publication and that nothing shows the actual publication of this amendment.

The Committee recalls that the draft Employers and Employed (Amendment) Rules, which had been drawn up in consultation with the International Labour Office, included provisions giving effect to Article 6 (freedom of workers to dispose of their wages), Article 7 (regulation of works stores), Article 8 (limitation of deductions from wages), Article 13 (place of wage payment) and Article 15(d) (keeping of records) of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the result of the inquiry being made with the Government Printer regarding the above-mentioned amendment, and on the measures taken subsequently to give effect to the above provisions of the Convention.
