The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following matters:

1. Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee repeats its request to the Government to supply information on the practical application of this Article of the Convention, including the number of agreements signed, the signatory organizations and the sectors covered.

2. Article 6. The Committee notes that according to the Government's report, the Labour Code Order, 1992, does not apply to public officers by virtue of the provisions of section 35 of the Public Service Act No. 13 of 1995, which came into effect on 9 April 1996. The Committee requests the Government to specify the scope of the exclusion and forward to it a copy of this legislation.
