The Committee notes with regret 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 following matters raised in its previous direct request:

The Committee noted that the Government was envisaging a review and harmonization of its legislation with the legislation of other member States of the OECS and expected that this revision of the legislation to be done with the ILO’s assistance would ensure full observance of ratified Conventions. In this connection, the Committee would appreciate receiving detailed information in respect of measures envisaged or undertaken to amend the legislation giving effect to this Convention. It also requests the Government to provide in its next report statistics on the number of children employed in industry and on cases of non-compliance or contravention noted by labour inspection and sanction imposed (Part V of the report form on this Convention).
