	Subsection (7) sets out that any person who (a) has received a sales information request or onward request; and (b) does not provide the information before the end of the specified period, because they do not hold the information, must provide a "negative response confirmation" to the person who made the request.
	Subsection (8) details that a negative response confirmation is a document in a specified form and given in a specified manner that sets out: (a) that the individual does not hold the information;, (b) actions taken by the individual to determine whether or not they hold the information; (c) onward requests they have made, and to whom; (d) an explanation of why they were unable to obtain the information, along with details of any negative response confirmations they have received; and (e) any other specified information.

	Subsection (10) confers powers on the appropriate authority to set out in regulations the detail of the process for making onward requests for information. The regulations may: (a) provide that an onward request may not be made until the end of a particular period or until another condition is met; (b) provide for how an onwards request can be made; (c) provide for the period within which an onward request must be made; (d) provide for circumstances when a duty to comply with a sales information request or onward request does not apply; (e) provide for how information requested in a sales information or onward request is to be given; (f) make provision for circumstances when the period specified in subsection (6), (7) or (9) may be extended.
	Subsection (11) details that for this Section, Section 96 and Section 97, an "onward request" has the meaning given in subsection (4)(a).
