The Welsh Ministers must make a scheme (“the business scheme”) setting out how they propose, in the exercise of their functions, to take account of the interests of business.
2
The business scheme must specify how the Welsh Ministers propose—

to consider the impact of the exercise of their functions on the interests of business.

The Welsh Ministers—
a
must keep the business scheme under review, and
b
may from time to time remake or revise it.

Before making, remaking or revising the business scheme, the Welsh Ministers must consult such organisations representative of business (including trade unions) and such other organisations as they consider appropriate.
5
The Welsh Ministers must publish the business scheme when they make it and whenever they remake it; and, if they revise the scheme without remaking it, they must publish either the revisions or the scheme as revised (as they consider appropriate).

If the Welsh Ministers publish a scheme or revisions under subsection (5) they must lay a copy of the scheme or revisions before the F2Senedd .
7
The Welsh Ministers must—
a
within the period of two years beginning with the day on which the business scheme is first made, and
b
subsequently at intervals of no more than two years,
publish a report of how the proposals set out in the business scheme have been implemented.
