(1)Each report made under or by virtue of section 3 must be laid before Parliament.
(2)The only means of securing accountability in relation to—
(a)the duties in section 1, and
(b)duties imposed by orders under section 2,
is that established by the provision made by or under section 3 for the making of progress reports and reports as to compliance and the duty imposed by subsection (1).
(3)Accordingly, the fact that—
