24A (1) This paragraph applies on the completion of an investigation of a DSI matter in respect of which neither the [F2 Director General] nor the appropriate authority has made a determination under paragraph 21A(2) [F3 , (2A)] [F4 , (2B)] or (4). E+W

(2) [F5 The person investigating] shall—

(a) submit a report on the investigation to the [F2 Director General]; and

(b) send a copy of that report to the appropriate authority.

[F6 (2A) Sub-paragraph (2)(a) does not apply where the person investigating is the Director General carrying out an investigation personally under paragraph 19, but the Director General must complete a report on the investigation.]

(3) A person submitting a report [F7 to the [F2 Director General]] under [F8 sub-paragraph (2) or completing one under sub-paragraph (2A)] shall not be prevented by any obligation of secrecy imposed by any rule of law or otherwise from including all such matters in his report as he thinks fit.

[F9 (3A) Where a person would contravene section 21A by sending a copy of a report in its entirety to the appropriate authority under sub-paragraph (2)(b), the person must instead send a copy of the report after having removed or obscured the information which by virtue of section 21A the person must not disclose.]

(4) On receipt of the report [F10 (or on its completion by the Director General)], the [F2 Director General] shall determine whether the report indicates that a person serving with the police may have—

(a) committed a criminal offence, or

(b) behaved in a manner which would justify the bringing of disciplinary proceedings.

[F11 (5) On receipt of the report [F12 (or on its completion by the Director General)], the [F2 Director General] shall also, if [F13 the Director General] considers it appropriate to do so, make a determination as to any matter dealt with in the report, being a determination other than one that [F13 the Director General] is required to make under sub-paragraph (4) or that the appropriate authority may be required to make by virtue of paragraph 24C(3).]

[F14 (6) But sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) and paragraphs 24B and 24C do not apply, or cease to apply, in relation to a report submitted under sub-paragraph (2) [F15 or completed under sub-paragraph (2A)] if, following the submission [F16 or completion] of the report, the [F2 Director General] determines under section 13B that the DSI matter is to be re-investigated.]]
