The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that Montserrat is still in the process of recovering from extended volcanic activity and that as a result the Government has been unable to enact the draft legislation on the protection of wages which would give effect to Articles 4 and 10 of the Convention. The Committee again hopes that this legislation will soon be adopted and that it will ensure full conformity with the above Articles of the Convention which have been the subject of its comments for many years.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2003.]
