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:

The Committee noted that the Government had set up a National Wages Council for the purpose of establishing minimum wages for manual workers not covered by the previously established minimum wages for shop assistants and domestic workers. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the minimum wage fixing by National Wages Councils.

The Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will provide information on the number of workers covered by the minimum wage-fixing machinery as required in Article 5 of the Convention.
