For years, late reporting has prevented both your Lordships and the wider public getting to grips with the use or misuse of these powers. The CHIS Act was passed in 2021, yet the annual report for that year was published only in March 2023. The 2022 report was published in 2024; the 2023 report in 2025, and most recently the report for 2024 came just before Christmas last year. Can we really afford to wait as late as 2027, for example, to learn what issues arise during the course of this year?
