The Committee notes that no report has been received from the Government. 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 which were raised in its previous direct request:

The Committee has noted the reference made in the Government's report for the period from 1985 to 1987 to a separate response to the direct request made by the Committee in 1986. The response referred to was not attached to the report and, therefore, the Committee must reiterate its comments from 1986 which read as follows:

The Committee has noted the Government's first and second reports which made only a general reference to the Labour Ordinance, 1966. It has noted that under section 20(1) of the Ordinance the Administrator in Council may make regulations generally for the proper carrying out of the provisions. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether any such regulations have been issued in respect of matters dealt with in the Convention and what other measures, including those prescribed by the labour inspectors, may have been taken for the protection of workers against the occupational risks covered.
