The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's latest report. It requests the Government to supply additional information in its next report on the following point.

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes that section 11(f) of the Labour Act (Cap. 75) provides that no worker may be required to work on more than six days in one week unless such worker is employed in an occupation in which work on customary rest days is expressly provided for in the contract of service. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in future reports any measures taken or envisaged to ensure, as far as possible, compensatory periods of rest for workers in such cases, in accordance with Article 5 of the Convention.
