Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Social Policy (Non-Metropolitan Territories) Convention, 1947 (No. 82) - Anguilla

The Committee notes the report provided by the Government of Anguilla in May 2009. The Government states that Anguilla has its own Constitution, Government, laws and judicial system. Anguilla is also responsible for its economic development, social progress and employment policies. The Government of the United Kingdom no longer provides grant-in-aid to the Government of Anguilla in an effort to ensure greater economic and political autonomy to Anguilla. The Committee hopes that the Government will ensure that the authorities in Anguilla will provide information in its next report dealing with the economic and social development of Anguilla, including updated data illustrating how the improvement of standards of living has been regarded as the principal objective in the planning of economic development. Please also provide information on the measures relating to minimum wages (Article 14(2)–(4) of the Convention), protection of wages (Article 15(1)–(6) and Article 16) and education and training (Article 19(2) and (3)).
