(1)This section applies in relation to a person who is being detained under section 14 of this Act (“the detained person”).
(2)Before the expiry of the period of 12 hours mentioned in section 14(2), a custody review officer may, subject to subsection (4), authorise that period to be extended in relation to the detained person by a further period of 12 hours.
(3)The further period of 12 hours starts from the time when the period of detention would have expired but for the authorisation.
(4)A custody review officer may authorise the extension under subsection (2) in relation to the detained person only if the officer is satisfied that—
(a)the continued detention of the detained person is necessary to secure, obtain or preserve evidence (whether by questioning the person or otherwise) relating to an offence in connection with which the person is being detained,
(b)an offence in connection with which the detained person is being detained is one that is an indictable offence, and
(c)the investigation is being conducted diligently and expeditiously.
(5)Where subsection (4) or (5) of section 14 applies in relation to the detained person, the references in subsection (2) of this section to the period of 12 hours mentioned in section 14(2) are to be read as references to that period as reduced in accordance with subsection (4) or, as the case may be, (5) of section 14.
(6)Where a custody review officer authorises the extension under subsection (2), section 14 has effect in relation to the detained person as if the references in it to the period of 12 hours were references to that period as extended by virtue of the authorisation.
(7)In this section and section 14B, “custody review officer” means a constable—
(a)of the rank of inspector or above, and
(b)who has not been involved in the investigation in connection with which the person is detained.]
