‘(1) The Secretary of State must publish the report before the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which this Act is passed.

(2) But if, before the end of that period, the Independent Oversight Group recommends to the Secretary of State that a longer time be allowed for publication—

(a) subsection (1) does not apply, and

(b) instead, the report must be published before the end of the period of 18 months beginning with the day on which this Act is passed.

(3) The Secretary of State must send a copy of the report as published to each appropriate national authority.’.—(Mr Davey.)
