The Committee notes with regret 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:

Article 2 of the Convention. Section 31 of the Labour Code lays down a weekly limit to hours of work without laying down the daily limit provided for by Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to state whether other legal provisions of general character lay down such a limit.

Articles 3 and 6. Sections 32 and 33 of the Labour Code authorise exceptions to hours of work that may go further than the exceptions provided for by the Convention. Moreover, section 32 does not specify the number of additional hours which may be authorised. The Committee requests the Government to state whether there are any other legal provisions which lay down the specific cases in which these exceptions are applicable to workers in industry and the maximum number of hours of work authorised in each case and to specify whether the regulations mentioned in Article 6 of the Convention are adopted after consultation with the organisations of employers and workers concerned.

Article 8. The Government is also requested to indicate the legal provisions which give effect to the following provisions of Article 8 of the Convention:

- paragraph 1(b) (rest intervals notified to the staff);

- paragraph 1(c) (recording of additional hours worked);

- paragraph 2 (illegality of employment outside the hours fixed).

The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the above-mentioned legal provisions if they exist and, if not, to consider the possibility, as soon as circumstances permit, of issuing suitable legislative texts to give full effect to the Convention.
