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

1. 136. The Committee last examined this case at its November 2001 meeting [see 326th Report, paras. 177-179] and on that occasion requested the Government to continue to keep it informed of any measures taken to amend section 120(2) of the Labour Relations Act of 1985.
2. 137. In a communication dated 9 January 2002, the Government indicates that the only process which will result in either the amendment of section 120(2) of the Labour Relations Act or its retention is the debate in Parliament of the Labour Amendment Bill. The Bill is currently before Parliament.
3. 138. The Committee trusts 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].
