The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report. It requests the Government to supply further details on the following points.

The Wages Councils Act of 1953, as amended, under sections 10 and 11 makes provision for the duration of holidays and the statutory minimum holiday remuneration to be fixed by Wages Regulation Order of the Governor-General in order to give effect to the proposals of the Wage Councils. The Wages Councils (Agricultural Workers, Domestic Workers, Industrial Workers and Shop Assistants) Order (S.R.O. 24 of 1981) contains no further information on the relevant issues. The Wages Regulation (Agricultural Workers) Order, referred to in the index of subsidiary legislation under the Wages Council Act, is not available to the Committee.

The Committee requests the Government to indicate any provisions of the national legislation and administrative regulations, which give effect to the Convention, and to supply the relevant texts. Since, according to the Government, the Wages Council Act is to be reviewed, the Committee asks to be kept informed of any changes made to this Act.

Please also provide any additional information on inspections and statistical data concerning the number of workers covered by legislation on annual holidays with pay in agriculture, and the number and nature of the contraventions reported, as might become available by the Labour Market Survey, which was to be carried out with the assistance of the ILO Caribbean Office.
