Paragraph 3 I1
(1)
The following are designated prosecutors—
(a)
the Director of Public Prosecutions;
(b)
the Director of the Serious Fraud Office;
(c)
any prosecutor designated under this paragraph by an order made by the Secretary of State.
(2)
A designated prosecutor must exercise personally the power to enter into a DPA and, accordingly, any enactment that enables a function of a designated prosecutor to be exercised by a person other than the prosecutor concerned does not apply.
(3)
But if the designated prosecutor is unavailable, the power to enter into a DPA may be exercised personally by a person authorised in writing by the designated prosecutor.
