The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. 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 matters raised in its previous direct request, which addressed the following issue:

Article 4. The Committee recalls that by virtue of section 160 of the Labour Code, the Minister of Labour shall, by an order made on the advice of the Labour Advisory Board, prescribe inter alia the minimum number of workers above which, and the category of establishments in which the election of staff representatives shall be compulsory; the number of representatives and their distribution among the various occupations; the procedure of elections; the conditions to be fulfilled by electors and candidates for election. Regretting that the Government confines itself to indicating in its report that a study concerning such an order is still being carried out, the Committee expresses the firm hope that the Government will be able to supply information on the results of this study in its next report and that it will forward the text of any order which is adopted under section 160 of the Labour Code.
