The Committee notes the Government's reports received in 1995 and 1996.

1. Article 1(a) of the Convention. The Committee noted form the Government's earlier reports that there had been no cases of practical application of sections 4, 7 and 8 of the Sedition and Undesirable Publications Ordinance, under which various offences related to seditious words or publications and prohibited publications are punishable by imprisonment involving compulsory labour. The Committee requests the Government to supply in its next report information on any cases of practical application of these provisions, including copies of relevant court decisions.

2. Article 1(b). With regard to earlier comments on section 49(1) of the Small Charges Act, the Committee refers to point 1 of its direct request under the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29).
