The Committee notes with regret that for the third consecutive year the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

Article 5 of the Convention. In previous observations, the Committee had noted that Chapter 263 of the Workmen’s Compensation Ordinance made provision for payment in the form of a lump sum in the event of death or permanent incapacity, whereas Article 5 requires that compensation be paid in the form of periodic payment. Under this Article of the Convention, lump sums may be paid only with adequate supervision from the appropriate authorities. In reply to these observations, the Government had expressed its intent, since 1988, to adopt "Consolidated Social Security Legislation". In its last report, the Government explains that the matter is still being followed up by the National Provident Fund and experts from the International Social Security Association, in collaboration with the International Labour Office. The Committee notes this information. It again urges the Government to take all necessary measures to give full effect to the requirements of the Convention in the very near future.

The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the application of the Convention, including any relevant statistics, in accordance with Part V of the report form.

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