except in relation to price regulation, the making of a price direction and any related investigation and report—a requirement that the commission exercise its functions subject to any subsequent written direction of the authority;
if the industry reference authorises the commission to make a price direction—a specification, after consultation with the commission, of when a draft report is to be made available for public inspection under section 18 (4).
Note A draft report into a price regulation investigation must also include a proposed price direction (or variation)—see s 18 (5).
