Regulations under subsection (1)—

may make provision requiring a service provider to display a rating included in a report prepared under section 36(1) in such manner, and at such place, as the regulations may specify,

b

may specify criteria to be applied when arriving at a rating, and

must include provision for a service provider to appeal against a rating included in a report prepared under section 36(1).

Before making regulations under subsection (1) the Welsh Ministers must consult any persons they think appropriate.

amend other regulations made under that subsection, and

b

do not, in the opinion of the Welsh Ministers, effect any substantial change in the provision made by the regulations to be amended.
