Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 156. The Committee last examined this case at its March 2002 meeting [see 327th Report, paras. 136-138] concerning the need to ensure that section 120(2) of the Labour Relations Act of 1985 is amended in line with freedom of association principles. On that occasion the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the outcome of the parliamentary debate on the Labour Amendment Bill.
2. 157. In a communication dated 6 August 2002, the Government limited itself to indicating that it did not have new information on the case.
3. 158. The Committee once again expresses the firm hope that section 120(2) of the Labour Relations Act of 1985 will be amended in line with freedom of association principles, including those enunciated in its conclusions during its first examination of this case [see 323rd Report, paras. 567-570]. It again urges the Government to take the necessary measures to amend the legislation in this respect, and to keep it informed.
