Article 14 Notification of decision

As soon as practicable after determining whether or not to make a direction the Secretary of State shall notify his decision to any person who made representations to him in relation to the direction; but nothing in this paragraph requires or permits the Secretary of State to give reasons for his decision, where the giving of reasons would result in the public disclosure of closed evidence.

Where a direction is given the Secretary of State shall, at the same time as notifying his decision in accordance with paragraph (1), send a copy of the direction to the appointed representative and the person who requested the direction.
