# The Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (Code of Practice) (Armed Forces) Order 2009, Paragraph 7: Revelation of material to Director


(1) The disclosure officer must give the schedules prepared in accordance with paragraph 6 to the Director. Wherever practicable this should be at the same time as he gives him the service police report on the case (or as soon as is reasonably practicable after it becomes clear that a charge is to be tried by the Court Martial, in cases for which paragraph 6(7) applies).
(2) The disclosure officer should draw the attention of the Director to any material an investigator has retained (including material not listed in a schedule and to which paragraph 6(12) applies) which may satisfy the test for prosecution disclosure in the Application Order, and should explain why he has come to that view.
(3) At the same time as complying with the duties in paragraphs 7(1) and 7(2), the disclosure officer must give the Director a copy of any material which falls into any of the following categories (unless such material has already been given to the Director as part of the service police report on the case)—
(a) information provided by an accused which indicates an explanation for the service offence with which he has been charged;
(b) any material casting doubt on the reliability of a confession;
(c) any material casting doubt on the reliability of a prosecution witness;
(d) any other material which the investigator believes may satisfy the test for prosecution disclosure in the Application Order.
(4) If the Director asks to inspect material which has not already been copied to him, the disclosure officer must allow him to inspect it. If the Director asks for a copy of material which has not already been copied to him, the disclosure officer must give him a copy. However, this does not apply where the disclosure officer believes, having consulted the officer in charge of the investigation, that the material is too sensitive to be copied and can only be inspected.
(5) If material consists of information which is recorded other than in writing, whether it should be given to the Director in its original form as a whole, or by way of relevant extracts recorded in the same form, or in the form of a transcript, is a matter for agreement between the disclosure officer and the Director.
