The Committee notes the Government's reply to its previous comments regarding the serious problems of application of the Convention. It notes the Government's statement that, in reality, there has been no labour inspection unit in the Labour Department and there have therefore been no labour inspectors to carry out labour inspection (Article 10 and 11 of the Convention). There is therefore no information as to the frequency of inspection visits (Article 16) or the preparation of annual labour inspection reports (Articles 20 and 21).

The Committee notes however that the Government now plans to employ labour inspectors for the smooth functioning of labour inspection. It hopes that, with the cooperation of the technical services of the office concerned, it will be possible to make some workable proposals of various kinds to the inspection services.

The Committee reiterates the view that labour inspection is of central importance in ensuring the implementation of labour standards. It hopes that the Government will continue to provide available information on the manner in which the Convention is applied and on progress made.
