:: HN91 was deployed against two groups in the last period of existence of the Special Demonstration Squad. None f the members of the target groups posed or pose a threat to the safety of HN91. But for the factor referred to below, I would not have made a restriction order in respect of the cover name. Evidence about the deployments must be received to permit the Inquiry to fulfil its terms of reference. Some, at least, of it will have to be given in closed session.
:: HN91 is a serving police officer, performing a valuable and sensitive role. If the cover name were to be published, there is a high risk that the real identity would be disclosed, in which event, HN91 could not continue to perform current duties. The risk of disclosure, by itself, would be likely to lead senior officers to transfer HN91 to other duties. It would not be in the public interest that this should occur. That interest outweighs the interests of the Inquiry in receiving public evidence about all aspects of the deployments of HN91.
:: Publication of the real name of HN91 is, in any event, not required to permit the Inquiry to fulfil its terms of reference.

There was also a closed note accompanying this.
