As soon as reasonably practicable after completing a review under this section, the reviewer shall send to the Governor a report on its outcome.
Subject to subsection (6), upon review of the report the Governor shall send a copy of it to the Attorney General who shall lay it in the Parliament.
Before the copy of the report is laid before the Parliament by the Attorney General, the Governor may, after consulting the reviewer, exclude from the copy any part of the report that would, in the opinion of the Governor, be damaging to the interests of national security or endanger the safety of any person if it were included in the copy laid before the Parliament.
