Subject: RE: Draft Prosecution Process for Nortern Ireland
Hello Jarnail,

Sorry about the delay, I have only returned to the office today.

In general I understand the process and more importantly the requirement for an audit trail of all papers throughout
this process.

My interpretation of your proposed system is that I become involved at point 5 in relation to the legal input, the file is
then returned to your office for confirmation/approval of recommendations and onward transmission to the decision
maker within the POL and if a prosecution is the determination then the file will be returned to me for onward
transmission to the DPP/PPS.

I have no difficulty with this, other than the timing of my involvement. I feel it can be beneficial for the team in NI to
be in a position to meet at an early stage to seek clarification/guidance on the best method of initiating/continuing an
investigation. While the stage of my involvement above makes sense I would not want Suzanne to feel she cannot
speak to me at an early stage in any case if she requires advice.

Give me a call if there are any points you wish to clarify.
Regards

Ernie Weterworth
