Article 1 of the Convention. National law giving effect to the Convention. The Government indicates that it attached to its report the requested copy of the Workmen’s Compensation Act of 15 December 2000 (W30, Revised Statutes), which repealed and replaced Ordinance No. 21 of 1955 on compensation for occupational injuries. In view of the fact that no copy of the new legislation has been received by the Office, the Committee requests the Government to send a copy of the abovementioned Act together with its implementing regulations (W30-1, W30-2 and W30-3) as soon as possible and to provide detailed information on the manner in which the new legislation gives effect to each of the provisions of the Convention.

Article 2(2)(d). Exclusion of manual workers whose remuneration exceeds a certain limit. The Government confirms in its report that the ceiling of 10,000 East Caribbean dollars (XCD) established by the Workmen’s Compensation Act excludes the vast majority of manual workers in Anguilla. The Committee observes that Article 2(2)(d) of the Convention only authorizes this type of exclusion for non-manual workers and that it has been reminding the Government for many years of the need to extend the scope of the system to include all workers covered by the Convention.
