The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government on the Employment Survey carried out in 1992. Noting however that no response is given to the previous direct request, the Committee again requests the Government to supply information on the following points.

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee noted the Government's statement in its first report that, due to the limitations of size and population in Gibraltar, not every standard and guideline established under the auspices of the ILO can be applied. The Committee asks the Government to indicate, for each Article of Part II of the Convention, the standards that have been taken into account and the reasons for any departure from them.

Article 3. The Committee asks the Government to indicate the manner in which the organizations of employers and workers were consulted in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methodology used regarding the statistics covered by Articles 7-11, 14 and 15.

Article 6. The Committee asks the Government to indicate the measures taken or contemplated to establish, publish and communicate to the ILO methodological information on the statistics covered by the provisions of the Convention other than Article 13.

Articles 7 and 8. The Committee asks the Government to communicate to the ILO published statistics with regard to current employment and unemployment data as well as the results of the 1991 census on the economically active population (in accordance with Article 5).

Article 9. The Committee requests the Government to communicate to the ILO the published results of the Employment Survey (in accordance with Article 5) and methodological information (in accordance with Article 6).

Article 10. The Committee noted that the Employment Survey attached to the Government's first report provided only limited statistics on the distribution of earnings. It requests the Government to indicate the steps taken or contemplated to compile statistics on wage structure and distribution in important branches of economic activity.

Article 11. The Committee noted the Government's statement in its first report that statistics of labour costs could not be compiled at present due to a lack of staff and resources. It requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or contemplated to give effect to this Article of the Convention.

Article 14. The Committee noted the table showing the data of industrial accidents, compiled by the Department of Labour and Social Security, which was annexed to the Government's first report. It asks the Government to provide further information concerning the types of statistics compiled under this Article ((e.g. the numbers of persons injured, the number of work-days lost, etc.), their coverage (in terms of persons, types of injuries and diseases, branches of economic activity, etc.)), to indicate their source and to communicate the published statistics and the reference information to the ILO, in accordance with Article 5.

Article 15. The Committee notes the Government's indication that the incidence of industrial disputes is negligible and that no statistics covering them are currently compiled. It requests the Government to indicate the measures taken to compile statistics covered by this Article, if such phenomena do occur.
