Section 11 Reports on investigations
Scotland
The Commissioner must, at the conclusion of any investigation, F1prepare a report of the investigation.
The report must contain any recommendations by the Commissioner arising out of the investigation.
In relation to any such recommendation, the report may include a requirement to respond.
A requirement to respond is a requirement that the service provider provides, within such period as the Commissioner reasonably requires, a statement in writing to the Commissioner setting out—
what the service provider has done or proposes to do in response to the recommendation; or
if the service provider does not intend to do anything in response to the recommendation, the reasons for that.
A report of an investigation into the activities of a person named in, or identifiable from, the report may be F3finalised only if that person has, where this is reasonable and practicable, been given a copy of the draft report and an opportunity to make representations on it.
The Commissioner must lay before the Parliament the report of a general investigation.
The Commissioner may lay before the Parliament the report of an individual investigation.
Where a report of an investigation includes a requirement to respond, the Commissioner must give a copy of the report to the service provider.
