On 12 August 2020, the Commission published a notice of its proposed acceptance, as required by section 2 of Schedule 2 to the Ordinance, and sought representations from interested parties. The deadline for representations was 26 August 2020. The Commission received representations from nine parties within this deadline. Having carefully considered these representations, the Commission sought certain amendments to the Proposed Commitments from the Parties. It decided to accept the commitments, as revised, and on 30 October 2020, issued a notice of acceptance. The Commitments are published on the Commitments Register. |
