Articles 10 and 11, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that no additional information has been provided concerning staffing of the labour inspectorate, its office facilities and transport. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide with its next report full information on the situation and measures which have been taken or are envisaged to provide the conditions under which the labour inspectorate can effectively perform its duties.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes that no "summary note" on the activities of the labour inspection services has been provided since that for 1988. It hopes that the Government will, within the time-limits established by the Convention, publish and send annual reports on the activities of the inspection services with all the information required by Article 21.

Article 7, paragraph 3. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would, with its next report, provide an appreciation of how in practice recent ILO-sponsored training of labour inspectors has improved the operation of the labour inspectorate in ensuring the effective application of the relevant legal provisions.
