The Committee notes that the All Pakistan Federation of Trade Unions has made comments on the application of the Convention further to those that it made in 1999. In its comments, it once again calls upon the Government to take action to raise the wage ceilings giving entitlement to protection under the Workmen’s Compensation Act in order to bring these ceilings into line with those adopted recently for the purposes of other social protection legislation. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would reply to the comments made by the All Pakistan Federation of Trade Unions in its next report.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2004.]
