I have only two comments:·
a)
b)
End of paragraph 4 of draft letter. If HM were to exercise the residual prerogative and over-ride a local decision, I doubt if this would be either
'unconstitutional or amount to de facto abolition' (unless it was exercised in every case).
Mr Rushford will comment on this.
Perhaps
Paragraph 5 of letter. Was the TCI man 'charged with manslaughter or charged with murder but con- victed of manslaughter? Perhaps this could be checked.
