Parts I–IV of the Convention. Statistics relating to wages and hours of work. The Committee notes the legislative texts and regulations provided by the Government with its report. The Annual Survey of Wages in Enterprises and the Household Employment Survey, both carried out by the National Statistical Office (ONS), are the principal sources of statistics of wages and hours of work. The Committee notes that the statistics of hours of work derived from the Household Employment Survey, as published on the ONS website, are not disaggregated by economic activity. The Committee also notes that the Annual Survey of Wages in Enterprises does not include statistics of wages in agriculture, as required by the provisions of Part IV. With regard to statistics relating to hours of work, the Committee requests that the Government take the necessary measures to establish more detailed statistics, as required by the Convention. The Committee also requests that the Government provide statistics of wages in agriculture.

The Committee notes the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group and the corresponding decision of the Governing Body at its 328th Session in October–November 2016 (GB.328/LILS/2/1) calling upon the Office to commence follow-up with member States that are still bound by the Convention, encouraging them to ratify the Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160), as the most up-to-date instrument in this area, and resulting in the automatic denunciation of Convention No. 63. The Committee reminds the Government of the availability of ILO technical assistance in this regards.
