The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments initially made in 2012. The Committee also notes that the Government has been requested to provide information to the Committee on the Application of Standards at the 106th Session of the International Labour Conference for failure to supply reports and information on the application of ratified Conventions.

Repetition

Labour inspection The Committee previously requested the Government to provide information from inspection reports from the Department of Labour. Noting an absence of information on this point in the Government’s report, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, particularly information from labour inspection reports relating to inspection of industrial establishments.

In addition, the Committee notes that the Government has indicated that it is considering the ratification of the Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138). In this regard, the Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to Article 10(5)(a) of Convention No. 138, that states that ratification of Convention No. 138 will result in the denunciation of Convention No. 5. The Committee therefore encourages the Government to consider ratifying Convention No. 138 in the near future.
