The Committee has noted the first report of the Government and the information provided concerning various tripartite bodies having responsibilities for particular aspects of the consultations contemplated by the Convention. It has noted the indications provided as to the membership of these bodies. In particular, it has noted the terms of reference of the National Labour Council, which include questions relating to international instruments in the labour field. Points included in some of the tripartite consultations provided for fall under Article 5(1)(a) and (d) of the Convention.

The Committee would be grateful if in the future the Government would supply the indications requested in the report form under each Article, including as to the consultations taking place with employers' and workers' organizations on the form which tripartite procedures relating to international labour standards should take (Article 2).
