It would appear that there are no absolute rules on disclosure. The police can withhold evidence right up until the day it goes to a trial, although if they do that, then they risk the case being delayed or even thrown out by the judge, because of them leaving it so late.
So it probably comes down to how the police operate in that area and how persistent the solicitor is. If it were to go to court, then the solicitor would simply tell the judge that their client has not seen all the evidence yet and so the proceedings would be adjourned.
If he has been charged already, then he should have a list of charges which would give a clue as to what evidence the police have. If he hasn't been charged, then the solicitor would just advise no comment, until they get more details.

You can obtain your own independent forensics report once the police have completed their's, though as with all these things it costs money. Ex-H isn't at that stage yet, so I don't know much about it, just that his solicitor recommended it.
