The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report.

The Committee notes that under the Employment Bill which was scheduled to be tabled in Parliament in March 2000, the prohibition on women’s employment during the night is intended to be removed and the Employment of Women, Young Persons and Children Act (Cap. 55:04) containing such prohibition repealed. The Committee cannot but note that once the above Bill is enacted the Convention will  cease to apply.

The Committee recalls, in this respect, that the Government remains fully bound by the provisions of the Convention until a formal act of denunciation takes effect in accordance with Article 15(1) of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any decisions taken in this matter.

The Committee takes this opportunity to invite the Government to give favourable consideration to the ratification of either the Night Work Convention, 1990 (No. 171) or the Protocol of 1990 to Convention No. 89.
