Part 4: Independent Advice on and Monitoring of UK Internal Market Reporting, advisory and monitoring functions Section 37: Statements on reports under section 36
This section sets out the process the CMA, UK Government and devolved administrations must follow once a report has been produced by the CMA and laid before the legislatures under section 36.
	Subsection (2) requires the national authority responsible for implementing the regulatory measure that was the subject of the CMA’s report to then make a written statement in the relevant legislature. For example, if the impacts of a Welsh Government regulation had been reported on, Welsh Ministers would need to make a written statement in the Senedd Cymru. In the case of Northern Ireland, the First Minster and deputy First Minster must make a joint statement. Subsection (3) defines "Parliament". In addition the national authority which requested the report must make a written statement to the relevant legislature.
	Subsection (4) sets out that in relation to Westminster this duty is to be fulfilled by laying a copy of a written statement before each House of Parliament.
	Subsections (5) to (9) provide definitions for terms used for the purpose of this section.
