I move amendment No. 80:

In page 15, between lines 9 and 10, to insert the following:“(14) The Commission shall not make available for publication any information which is the subject of a decision of the Commission under this section—

(a) if no appeal is brought under section 23, until the end of the period specified in that section within which an appeal may be brought,
(b) if such appeal is brought but no further appeal is brought under section 24, until the end of the period specified in that section within which such further appeal may be brought, and
(c) if an appeal under section 23 and further appeal under section 24 are brought, until the further appeal is finally determined, but, if such appeal or further appeal is at any point withdrawn, then such information may be made available for publication once the appeal has been withdrawn.”.

I am proposing amendment No. 80 to ensure that where a person wishes to appeal a decision of the commission in respect of delayed publication, the information in question will not be published until the appeal mechanism is fully completed.
