The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comments. It would be grateful for fuller information on the following points in the Government's next report:

Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's intention to examine the possibility of applying labour legislation to co-operative workers exercising occupational activities, and of using the system of labour administration in respect of them. Please keep the Committee informed of developments in this connection and of any other similar developments with regard to the categories of workers who are not employed persons, as listed under points (a) to (d) of this Article.

Article 10. In reply to the previous comments of the Committee, the Government refers to the information it supplied in its reports on the application of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), which have been noted by the Committee. The Committee would be grateful to receive in the Government's next report on Convention No. 150 full and detailed information on the measures taken to ensure that the staff of all labour administration services (and not only those of the labour inspectorate) are independent of all improper external influences. It also requests the Government to supply information of a practical nature on the material means and the financial resources available to such staff, during the reporting period, for the effective performance of their duties.
