This message was sent to Napo members via their preferred e-mail address.
It was to advise members that in light of the response received by Napo today from the Treasury Solicitor (on behalf of the Secretary of State), a very short further period of time is being given for the Secretary of State to respond to our substantive points. The Officers and myself have taken Counsel's advice before reaching this decision.
The Secretary of State has however now confirmed that no CRC contracts will be signed for the sale of CRCs before 24 November 2014.
Napo will obviously do all that it can to ensure that members are kept up to date with developments and it is anticipated that another members' mail out will follow on Tuesday of next week.
