For the first time that will be enforceable in this sense: that if the person promises to cooperate and the court sentences on that basis and they don't cooperate, you can go back to court and get the sentence reviewed. -Lord Goldsmith

I'm not acting at the request or under the instructions of anybody else in relation to this.
