Hi Chris,I am actually in the process of writing a guide for people living in the UK for dealing with the Police. Sad to say we're not lucky enough to have a Constitutional right against self incrimination and a right to silence as you do in the Land of the Free but the principles are broadly the same.On the balance of probabilities it is better simply to remain silent rather than answer any questions. Regarding what you can tell your Lawyer, your conversations are protected by legal privilege i.e they cannot be used against you as evidence. Having said this your legal representative (both in UK & US) cannot repeat anything they know to be untrue.As such if you were arrested and confided in your lawyer that you're guilty, their only lawful course of action is to recommend you stay silent. If you then tell the Police something inconsistent with this i.e you lie to them and your Lawyer realises this, they will initially ask for the interview to be suspended so they can talk to you privately and if you continue to say things they know are untrue they'll ask to be excused and have another legal advisor appointed for you.As such you need to think hard about what you tell your Lawyer - in the US there is no material benefit in disclosing your defence early so if you wish you can tell your Lawyer that you have decided not to answer any questions. Your Lawyer will have spoken with the Police who will give a brief overview of any evidence against you and can advise you on whether this is likely to be taken any further. If you are charged, there'll be plenty of time to devise your legal defence in private with your Lawyer, there's no need to say anything at interview to them or to the interviewing Officers!V.
