The SIA is an operationally independent arm’s length body, responsible for the service it provides, including how it manages its private prosecutions.

The organisation is already accountable to Parliament for its activities, including its financial accounts, which are audited by the National Audit Office and laid in Parliament on an annual basis.

The SIA did not bring these proceedings against Mr Bryson and was therefore not involved.
