any other document of the Authority that is to be, or might be, made public,
a matter that is of a commercially sensitive nature, and the Minister may, despite the Financial Management Act 2006 section 64 or an obligation, however arising, to make the document public, comply with the request except where under paragraph (b) the document is to be laid before either House of Parliament by its own order.
A copy of a document from which any matter has been deleted under subsection (1) must —
