The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report did not reply to its previous comments. The Committee 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 read in the relevant part as follows:

Repetition
Article 1 of the Convention. Transfer abroad of industrial accident benefits. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information in future reports on the manner in which the payment of industrial accident benefits takes place in practice in the event of residency abroad, both with regard to Malawian nationals and nationals of the other 120 countries that have ratified the Convention, if they have suffered industrial accidents in Malawi. Please provide statistics relating to the number and nationality of foreign workers employed in the country, and as soon as such statistics are available, the amounts transferred abroad in the event of industrial accidents.
