Whereas the International Labour Conference has adopted a recommendation on international co-operation concerning public works ; and whereas it is desirable, in order to make such co-operation effective, to set up an international body for the purpose of ensuring the continuity of the co-operation and of determining in the methods of applying it: — 1. The Conference invites the Governing Body of the International Labour Office to appoint as soon as possible, and to convene without delay, an international public, works committee, the duties of which should be more particularly — (a) To prepare and periodically to revise the uniform plan referred to in paragraph 2 of the recommendation on international co-operation concerning public works : (b) To study every year the information gathered by the International Labour Office either as a result of the recommendation referred to above or in any other way : (c) To make reports on this subject to the Governing Body of the International Labour Office with a view to their transmission to the members of the organization : (d) To undertake any other duties relating to public works which may be entrusted to it. 2. Members which have declared themselves willing to give effect to the above-mentioned recommendation should be invited to send representatives to the Committee. The Committee should also include employers' and workers' representatives in equal numbers. The Governing Body of the International Labour Office should invite representatives of the competent bodies of the League of Nations to participate in the work of the Committee, and might, in so far as it thinks fit, attach to the Committee representatives of international institutions or bodies concerned with this matter as well as national and international experts chosen for their special knowledge of the various aspects of the problem of public works.
