238: Report of reviewers

You could also call this:

"People who review something must write a report and give it to a special committee."

Illustration for Intelligence and Security Act 2017

When you do a review, the people doing the review must write a report about what they found. They have to give this report to the Intelligence and Security Committee by a certain date. The Committee will look at the report and then give it to the House of Representatives.

The Committee must follow the rules in section 224 when they give the report to the House of Representatives. This means they have to do things in a certain way, like they would if they had written the report themselves. You can find more information about how this works in the rules.
