Regulation 33 Reference of DSI matters to the Director General
The Minister must refer a DSI matter to the Director General.
A DSI matter must be referred to the Director General in such manner as the Director General specifies and—
in a case where the Director General directs that the matter be referred to the Director General, without delay and in any event not later than the end of the day following the day on which the Director General so directs; and
in any other case, without delay and in any event not later than the end of the day following the day on which the matter first comes to the attention of the Minister.
A matter that has already been referred to the Director General under paragraph (1) on a previous occasion, or that has been treated as having been so referred by virtue of regulation 34, is not required to be referred again, unless the Director General so directs.
