On further reflection, I am prepared to make this document available to you for the sole and exclusive purpose of it being presented, all or in part, in a duly constituted hearing under the Fire Services' (Discipline) Regulations, 1985 as evidence for the defence of the charge(s) against Mr X.

The use of the document in any other context, or the copying, forwarding or discussion of its contents with or to any person other than the accused without the express permission of the Chief Fire Officer shall constitute a breach of confidence for which I shall hold you personally responsible.
