Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. Reporting obligations on the activities of the labour inspection services. The Committee notes that, according to the Government’s report, the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Labour Market Information System has been established with technical assistance provided by the ILO Office in Port of Spain and contains statistics on labour inspection, such as the number and causes of complaints, the number of inspection visits per sector, employment injuries and decisions of the Hearing Officer and tribunal decisions.

The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that the new system will allow the labour inspection central authority to publish and communicate to the ILO in the very near future and on an annual basis a report on the work of the services placed under its supervision and control, containing the information indicated in items (a)–(g) of Article 21. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate any progress made and any difficulties encountered in this regard. The Committee draws once again the Government’s attention to the guidance provided in Paragraph 9 of the Labour Inspection Recommendation, 1947 (No. 81), as to the type of information that should be included in annual labour inspection reports.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
