Regulation 35 Duties of the Director General on references under regulation 33 or DSI matters treated as having been referred under regulation 34
The Director General must, in the case of every DSI matter referred to the Director General by the Minister under regulation 33, or treated as having been so referred under regulation 34, determine whether or not it is necessary for the matter to be investigated by the Director General.
Where the Director General determines under this regulation that it is not necessary for a DSI matter to be investigated by the Director General—
in a case where the DSI matter is already being investigated by the Minister on the Minister’s own behalf, and notwithstanding the Director General’s determination, the Director General must refer the matter to the Minister for the investigation to be completed;
in any other case, the Director General may, if the Director General thinks fit, refer the matter to the Minister to be dealt with by the Minister in such manner (if any) as the Minister may determine.
