The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It 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 following matters raised in its previous direct request:

1. The Committee noted the appointment on 7 April 1988 of an Advisory Board, in accordance with section 6(1) of the Labour Standards Act No. 2 of 1977, to consider the wages paid to employees in occupations or categories such as shop assistants, home assistants, agricultural workers (males and females), other daily paid workers (males and females), juveniles and cashiers and to advise the Minister of Labour of the minimum rate of wages that would be fair for employees in these occupations and categories. The Committee noted that employers and workers concerned were nominated by their respective organizations and then appointed by the Minister of Labour.

Recalling that under Article 3, paragraph 2(2), of the Convention the employers and workers concerned shall be associated in the operation of machinery in equal numbers and on equal terms, the Committee requests the Government to indicate the manner in which the representation of the employers and workers is ensured on the Advisory Board.

2. Article 5. The Committee noted that the Advisory Board was reviewing the existing minimum wages. It hopes that the Government will continue to provide information on the minimum rates of wages fixed and indicate the approximate number of workers covered.
