As an SDS officer

According to Mitting, HN301 reported on other groups besides the Socialist Workers Party.reported on others, and there were no allegations of misconduct against him.[2]


In the Undercover Policing Inquiry

  • November 2017: cover name to be published, real name to be restricted.[3] In a 'Minded To' not, the Chair of the Inquiry, John Mitting, wrote[2]
Publication of his cover name, which will occur, is all that is required to prompt evidence from those who encountered him in his undercover role, if they have any to give. Publication of his real name is unnecessary. It would also be a disproportionate and unjustified interference in his and his family’s right to respect for their private and family life under Article 8 of the European Convention. It would not be difficult to trace him if his real name were published. His family circumstances, which are fully set out in his impact statement, require that there should be no avoidable interference in them, even of a kind produced only by publicity resulting from legitimate media interest.
  • 31 October 2017: application to restrict real name made by Metropolitan Police Service.[4]
  • 20 February 2018: cover name and target groups released.[1]
  • 5 March 2018: provisional decision to restrict real name.restrict cover name with application to be heard on 21 March 2018.[5]
  • 27 March 2018: Mitting ruled that the real name cannot be published by the Inquiry; in this he repeated his earlier arguments and added that HN301 was in his 70s.[6]
