Rh

The fact that a solicitor or barrister might advise that person not to make, or continue to make, a statement, or not to answer questions, or not to assist the police in their enquiries, should not in itself be treated by a police officer as a ground for delaying or preventing communication between the solicitor or barrister and that person.
 * (c) A person in custody, or present with the police and under investigation by them, should be supplied on request with writing materials.
 * (d) A person in custody, or present with the police and under investigation by them, should be informed of his rights and the facilities available to him, and in addition notices describing them should be displayed at convenient and conspicuous places at police stations.

The above Rules and Directions replace the Judges’ Rules previously adopted by the courts.
