Part 4: Police Powers Chapter 1: Pre-charge Bail Sections 66 and 67: Notification of decision not to prosecute
Sections 66 and 67 amend the relevant sections of PACE (sections 34, 37 or 37CA and sections 41 to 44 respectively) to require the police to notify a person released without bail once a decision has been reached that they will not be prosecuted for the offence for which they were originally arrested. This ensures that a person released without bail will be informed by the police of a decision not to prosecute in the same way as a person released on bail (who is notified of the decision when their bail is cancelled).
	For the avoidance of any doubt, sections 66 and 67 also make clear that a decision not to prosecute does not prevent an investigation being resumed if further evidence comes to light.
