The Committee notes that, in response to its request for information regarding the practical application of the Convention including statistical data related thereto, the Government reiterates its previously provided information that, according to available statistics from the labour inspectorate, no worker has been exposed to lead poisoning in the most recent reporting period, but that the Government had requested statistical information from the Ministry of Health regarding possible cases of lead poisoning reported to them.
