A mission report is a report explaining how the Bank intends to respond to the strategic missions that the Scottish Ministers have set for it.
The Bank need not send a mission report to the Scottish Ministers under subsection (1)(a) in consequence of receiving a document under section 15 if the document's only effect is to bring a strategic mission to an end.
The Bank need not send a mission report to the Scottish Ministers on the first day of a financial year if, on that day—
it has been less than 3 months since the Bank last sent the Ministers a mission report, or
the Bank is due to send the Ministers a mission report under subsection (1)(a) within the next 3 months.
A mission report may be in any form that the Bank considers appropriate and (in particular) may be part of another document.
