These include the Minister’s decision on whether any relevant exclusion ground applies, whether the exclusion ground is mandatory or discretionary, the date on which the exclusion ground is expected to cease to apply and whether the Minister intends to enter the supplier's name (or maintain an existing entry) on the debarment list and in each case the reasons.
	Subsections (5) and (6) allow for the report not to be published, to be provided on limited circulation or for information to be withheld from the report where the Minister considers this is necessary for national security or commercial sensitivity reasons.
