(2) requiring the proper officer of each court to which applications for criminal legal aid are made to keep records of the applications, showing the court’s reasons for holding that legal aid should or should not be granted in the interests of justice, referring where appropriate to the criteria listed in section 22 of the Legal Aid Act 1988;
(3) requiring the proper officer to supply the applicant with a copy of that record where legal aid has been refused on the interests of justice ground;
