The Government on Monday approved six out of 24 amendments submitted by lawmakers to the unitary wage bill for the public sector, for which the Executive plans to seek a confidence vote in Parliament on December 14.

Of the accepted amendments, five are changes to the frame wage law and one is a change to its application law, said the Government.
