Subsequent review periods are each successive period of 3 years after the first review period.

publish a report of the findings of the review for that period, and

lay a copy of the report before Parliament.

In particular, the report must set out—
a
the extent to which, in the Secretary of State’s opinion, the Pubs Code is consistent with the principles set out in section 42(3), and

any revisions of the Pubs Code which, in the Secretary of State’s opinion, would enable the Pubs Code to reflect more fully those principles.
