Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (Ratification: 1998)

Publication of an annual report. The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that although annual reports are prepared by the Department of Labour, they are mainly for internal use. The Committee recalls that Article 20 of the Convention requires that an annual report on the activities of the labour inspection service is not only to be prepared but also published within a reasonable time and transmitted to the ILO. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be able to indicate that an annual report has been published containing the information required in Article 21 of the Convention, either in the appropriate part of the annual report of the Department of Labour or in the form of a separate report.
