34 Furnishing of draft reports to Minister
(1) The Advocate is to provide the Minister with a draft of each report that is to be furnished to the Presiding Officers under this Part.
(2) Each draft report is to be provided to the Minister at least one month (or other period agreed by the Minister) before it is furnished to the Presiding Officers.
(3) The Minister may provide the Advocate with any comments the Minister wishes to make in relation to a draft report.
(4) The Minister may require the Advocate to consult further in relation to a draft report and provide a further draft report in accordance with subsection (2). Only one such requirement can be made with respect to a report.
(5) The Advocate is not bound to amend the Advocate’s report in light of any comments made by the Minister, but must, before finalising the Advocate’s report, consider any comment that was provided to the Advocate by the Minister (and the results of further consultation) before the report is furnished to the Presiding Officers.
