The Committee has noted the Government's report for the period ending 31 May 1997. It notes the information provided on the application of Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. It would be grateful if the Government would continue to transmit detailed information on the consultations held on each of the matters set forth in this provision and also the frequency of these consultations.

The Government states that the possibility of denouncing Underground Work (Women) Convention, 1935 (No. 45), has been discussed in tripartite meetings held during the reporting period. The Committee takes due note of these indications and it recalls its observation of 1996 under Convention No. 45 and requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any development in this respect.
