OFFICIAL SENSITIVE — CONFIDENTIAL & SUBJECT TO LEGAL PRIVILEGE
OHC Monthly Monitoring Meeting 12 May 2022 17:00 - 17:45

Opening Remarks
* CC welcomed attendees. He explained that he was interested in i) receiving a read-out from the HSF/Hudgells
meeting; ii) a progress update regarding ENE; and iii) POL’s views on what progress can be made in the short-
medium term.

Status Update and General Discussion
* SR provided the status update. He explained that the meeting between HSF and Hudgells was currently taking
place.
* On PFAs, SR explained that POL has been working collaboratively with the CCRC who have issued a further
c.120 letters. Out of this batch, POL has already received 10 responses in which the PFA has requested that
POL/CCRC do not contact them again — this takes the total to 46. POL are working through the remaining
responses. SR also noted that he is taking a proposal through HRC to instruct P&P to identify cases which are
likely to be unsafe convictions and therefore ones in which POL may take a more proactive approach to
progress.
* On Non-POL prosecutions, SR explained that POL continue to supply information and help other prosecuting
bodies to track down individuals. JS queried recent developments in Scotland regarding the POHIT Inquiry and
whether there have been significant developments with the SCCRC — SR explained that there have not but that

" éfficiencies and how best to push the proposal and required documentation through POL/HMG governance. It

(i.e. ATQC) was needed on the ENE legal submissions before final submission.

the ENE documentation. The group agreed. ACTION — EW to set up lawyers meeting to discuss ENE
documentation.

credibility / authority issues. CC explained that it is now for POL to consider and decide on its preferred
approach.
