The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government concerning the application of the Convention, including the reference to the efforts made by the labour inspectorate to enforce the relevant legislation. It would be grateful to the Government for continuing to provide information on the application in practice.

The Committee, however, notes that the Government does not respond to its previous request concerning the application of the Convention in Zanzibar. From the information available at the International Labour Office, the Committee notes that there have been some legislative provisions specific to Zanzibar such as the Labour Decree of 1946 (Chapter 61), which may give effect to at least some of the provisions of the Convention. It requests the Government to specify whether this Labour Decree is still in force (if so, please provide a copy of its latest version), or whether the legislation mentioned in the Government' report (for instance, the Employment Ordinance Cap. 366) is also applicable in Zanzibar.
