(1)The court may authorise a constable to question a person about an offence after the person has been officially accused of committing the offence.
(2)The court may grant authorisation only if it is satisfied that allowing the person to be questioned about the offence is necessary in the interests of justice.

(a)the seriousness of the offence,
(b)the extent to which the person could have been questioned earlier in relation to the information which the applicant believes may be elicited by the proposed questioning,

(5)This subsection applies where—

(b)to specify, or not to specify, conditions under subsection (6)(b),
is final.
