The Committee notes with interest the Fair Labour Standards Ordinance 1988 (No. 16 of 1988), which includes provisions establishing the machinery for the determination of minimum wage rates. It also notes from the Government's report that no minimum wage order is currently in force and that, in relation to domestic household employees, a minimum wage order is in the process of formulation. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the results of the application of the minimum wage fixing machinery, including the approximate number of workers covered, the minimum rates of wages fixed as required by Article 5 of the Convention.
