Dear Information Management Unit,

I am happy to provide further information on Q2, however, I do not consider your statement:
"The current deadline will be paused until clarification is received. If clarification is not received within one month of the date of this email, we will consider this request closed"
to be correct.

Q1 is not contingent on any clarification and so should be fulfilled within the ordinary timescale.

To the substantive Q2 clarification:
My interest is policy documents, internal procedure, guidance, legal opinions etc regarding how the CPS handles foreign orders made under s.444 of POCA ( https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/200... ) along with the associated The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (External Requests and Orders) Order 2005 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/... ).
Futher, if there are policy documents, internal procedure, guidance, legal opinions etc regarding fulfilling external (non-EU) requests or orders that are not made subsequent to s.444 POCA, provide those too.

Per original request, Gary Balch from the CPS (name obtained from a publicly accessible document) will be familiar with these points.

Yours sincerely,

Steve Martin
