The Committee notes that, according to the Government, collective bargaining in Bermuda has become sufficiently widespread to render the provisions of the Convention inappropriate. The Committee recalls that the Convention was applied by the revised administrative instructions of 29 December 1962 and it would appear that these instructions are still in force. In view of the information provided in the Government's last report, the Committee asks it to state whether these instructions are still in force and, if so, whether the contracts awarded by public authorities in accordance with these insructions, contain the clauses provided for in paragraph 5 of the said instructions.

In addition, the Committee asks the Government to provide information on the practical application of the Convention, in accordance with point V of the report form, stating in particular the number of public contracts awarded and the number and nature of any violations recorded, and enclosing a sample of the public contracts now in use.
