The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

1. Article 5 of the Convention. In reply to the Committee's previous observation, the Government indicates that a new draft of the "Consolidated Social Security Legislation" is being prepared with the help of the International Labour Office and that the final text will be communicated to the Committee for comments. The Committee notes this information and once again expresses the hope that the above-mentioned legislation will be adopted soon and that consequently the Workmen's Compensation Ordinance, Chapter 263, will be amended so as to ensure, in accordance with this Article of the Convention, that the compensation payable to the injured worker, or his dependants, where permanent incapacity or death results from the injury, shall be paid in the form of periodical payments, provided that it may be wholly or partially paid in a lump sum, if the competent authority is satisfied that it will be properly utilised. Please supply information on any progress made in this respect. 2. The Committee once again asks the Government to supply the text of the 1986 Workmen's Compensation Act applicable to Zanzibar, which has not yet been received in the ILO.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
