However, according to the Inquiry Chair, John Mitting, there is no known allegation of misconduct during the deployment. The officer is deceased.<ref name="mindedto3.mitting.15Jan18">Sir John Mitting, [https://www.ucpi.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/200180115-Minded-To-Note-3-November-tranche-applications.pdf Applications for restriction orders in respect of the real and cover names of officers of the Special Operations Squad and the Special Demonstration Squad: 'Minded to' note 3], ''Undercover Policing Inquiry'', 15 January 2018.</ref>

She wishes that her husband's memory, she and her family should be left in peace, and that a restriction order granted in both real and cover name. Mitting however notes there is a 'sterile corridor' preventing HN13's real name being discovered from his cover name and even if it was breached the risk to the widow etc. is negligible. Thus is no good reason preventing publishing of the cover name. As some risk of interference in private life of widow if real name published, that shall be restricted.<ref name="mindedto3.mitting.15Jan18"/>
