The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes with interest the Wages Council (Shop Assistants and Domestic Helpers) Order, 2002, made under section 7(6) of the Wages Council Act (Cap. 302), revised edition 2000, which sets new minimum hourly wage rates for shop employees and domestic servants. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report whether the minimum wage for manual workers, which was last fixed in 1992, has been reviewed and, if so, to forward a copy of the statutory instrument determining the new minimum wage rates.

Article 5 and Part V of the report form. The Committee notes that the latest statistics communicated by the Government on the number and different categories of workers covered by minimum wage provisions relate to 1996. It would, therefore, be grateful if the Government would make an effort to collect and transmit up-to-date and detailed information regarding the application of the Convention in practice, including copies of official reports or studies on minimum wage issues, data pertaining to the coverage of relevant legislation, extracts from inspection reports showing the number of infringements and sanctions imposed, as well as any other particulars bearing on the functioning of the minimum wage fixing machinery.
