The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 11, paragraph 1(b) and (c) of the Convention. With reference to its previous direct request, the Committee notes the Government's statement that appeals are being made to the authorities concerned to grant loans to inspectors for the purchase of their own vehicles for the purpose of carrying out their duties effectively. It hopes that these arrangements will facilitate the performance of the inspection duties and requests the Government to indicate, in its next report, progress achieved in this connection and also to supply information on arrangements made to reimburse to labour inspectors any travelling and incidental expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

Article 13, paragraph 2(b). In its previous direct request, the Committee expressed the hope that the Improvement and Prohibition Notices Regulations (to which the Government referred in its report for 1985) would soon be adopted with a view to empowering inspectors to order measures with immediate executory force in the event of imminent danger to the health or safety of workers. However, it notes from the Government's report that no progress has been achieved in this respect and that at present legal measures with immediate executory force are available only in mines and quarries. The Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary steps to adopt shortly provisions to ensure the effective application of this paragraph of the Convention.

Article 21. The Committee notes that the annual report of the Department of Labour for 1986, does not include information on statistics of workplaces liable to inspection and the numbers of workers employed therein and on statistics of occupational diseases (subparagraphs (c) and (g) of Article 21). It hopes that future inspection reports will contain all the information called for in Article 21.
