Dear Labour Department,

Thank you for your reply.

I believe you tried to include a table in your reply but the format of the
table was jumbled. Can you kindly clarify the below:

workers for violations of the EO in second quarter, 2019
- The number of summonses issued against employers of migrant domestic
workers for violations of the ECO in second quarter, 2019
- The number of employers of migrant domestic workers prosecuted for
violations of the EO in second quarter, 2019
- The number of employers of migrant domestic workers prosecuted for
violations of the ECO in second quarter, 2019

Many thanks,
