Part 4: Independent Advice on and Monitoring of UK Internal Market Reporting, advisory and monitoring functions Section 36: Report on request on provision considered to have detrimental effects
This section describes the reporting procedure for enacted regulatory provisions which are considered to have detrimental effects on the UK internal market.
	Subsections (1) to (5) set out that the CMA may undertake a report on the economic impact of a regulatory provision which has been passed or made into law, provided it falls within scope of Part 4 and is considered to be having an actual or anticipated detrimental impact on the functioning of the UK internal market. The CMA may do this only at the request of a Minister in the UK government or any devolved administration, rather than a third party. The requesting administration(s) must first consider whether any other person is able to provide an independent report. Subsection (6) provides that the CMA may decline such requests but must give reasons if it does so and must publish the notice.
	Subsection (7) states that where the CMA does provide a report, it must provide copies to all other administrations in other parts of the UK who did not request the report. For example, if the Welsh government made the request for a report, then England, Scotland and Northern Ireland administrations would also receive copies of the report.
	Subsections (8) to (10) set out that as soon as practicable after being informed that no further time for consideration by administrations is needed, and no later than 6 months after provision of the report to the UK government and all devolved administrations, the CMA must lay the report before each House of Parliament and all devolved legislatures. After this the report will be published by the CMA.
