1
After carrying out a standards investigation, the Commissioner must produce a standards report.

A standards report is a document that sets out—
a
the conclusions of the standards investigation, and
b
the Commissioner’s reasons for reaching those conclusions.
3
If—
a
the conclusions of the investigation are (in whole or in part) that any standards should be specifically applicable to P, and
b
any or all of those standards are not specified by the Welsh Ministers under section 26(1),
the report must set out the standards that are not specified.
4
As soon as reasonably practicable after preparing a standards report, the Commissioner—
a
must send a copy of the report to—
i
each relevant person,
ii
the Advisory Panel,
iii
each person who participated in the Commissioner’s consultation under section 63, and
iv
the Welsh Ministers, and
b
may send a copy of the report to any other person whom the Commissioner considers to have an interest in the report.
5
In this section “relevant person” means—
a
in the case of a standards investigation relating to a particular person, that person;
b
in the case of a standards investigation relating to a group of persons, such persons—
i
who appear to the Commissioner to be members of the group, and
ii
to whom the Commissioner thinks it appropriate to give a copy of the report.
