Schedule 14: Role of the Competition Commission

Paragraph 4: Publication of reports

841.This paragraph concerns the publication of reports by the Commission.  When it publishes a report the Commission, like the DGFT under section 160, must so far as is practicable exclude any matter which relates to the affairs of a person which might seriously prejudice that person’s interests.  Sub-paragraph (4) provides that such information does not need to be excluded from the version of the report which is required to be sent to the Director, the Treasury and the Authority under section 162(10).
