(2)A police officer of at least the rank of superintendent may direct that the right—
(a)may not be exercised (or further exercised) by consulting the solicitor who attends for the purpose of the consultation or who would so attend but for the giving of the direction, but
(b)may instead be exercised by consulting a different solicitor of the detained person's choosing.
(2A)A direction under this paragraph may be given before or after a detained person's consultation with a solicitor has started (and if given after it has started the right to further consult that solicitor ceases on the giving of the direction).]
[F2(3)A direction under this paragraph may be given only if the officer giving it has reasonable grounds for believing—
(a)that, unless the direction is given, the exercise of the right by the detained person will have any of the consequences specified in paragraph 8(4), or
(b)that the detained person has benefited from his criminal conduct and that, unless the direction is given, the exercise of the right by the detained person will hinder the recovery of the value of the property constituting the benefit.]
