Paragraph 10 I1

In this Schedule—

• “appointed representative” means a person (who is also a specified person) F1appointed to represent the interests of any party to the inquiry, under or by virtue of section 265A(5) of the Act (planning inquiries to be held in public subject to certain exceptions);

• “closed evidence” means evidence which is subject to a security direction;

• “closed inquiry statement” means such part (if any) of an inquiry statement as includes or refers to closed evidence;

• “closed precognition” means such part (if any) of a precognition as includes or refers to closed evidence;

• “open inquiry statement” means such part (if any) of an inquiry statement as does not include or refer to closed evidence;

• “open precognition” means such part (if any) of a precognition as does not include or refer to closed evidence;

• “potentially closed evidence” means evidence in respect of which a request for a security direction has been made; and

• “specified person” means a person specified in, or a person of such description as is specified in, a security direction as being entitled to hear or inspect closed evidence.

Where a request for a security direction has been made to the Scottish Ministers or the Secretary of State but no determination as to whether or not to give a direction has been made, references in paragraphs 2 to 10(1) to closed evidence are to be treated as references to potentially closed evidence and references to specified persons are to be treated as references to persons who, in terms of the request for a direction, would be permitted to hear or, as the case may be, inspect closed evidence if a security direction is given.
