If they had enough evidence they would not bother with the interview On representation what i am saying is you are not entitled to a legally aided representative but you can be charged and the evidence sent to the CPS for prosecution.
IMO it is extremely foolish to attend any interview under caution without legal representation and if you can not afford it then wait until the proceedings reach a stage where you can have it publicly funded before you give any information or statement .

i know it is late in the day to respond, but this is not true - they HAVE to offer the evidence to the accused and ask for their side of the story; it is the right of the defendant to know why they are being possibly prosecuted. Just because they have evidence does not always make it a clear cut case - what the defendant says in the interview is their defence and will be offered to the solicitors so they can make a decision as to whether to proceed or not or whether they feel that the evidence does not back up their side of the story.
