Once the report has been submitted to the UK Commission – what happens next?
A Commissioner will visit the SSC once the NAO has submitted its report. The Commission will then invite the SSC to a Panel meeting to discuss the findings. Following any final clarification on the evidence submitted by the SSC, the UK Commission will make a recommendation to the UK government and the devolved administrations on whether a new licence should be awarded and inform the Chair and Chief Executive of the SSC.
