The noble Lord’s amendment seeks to make it a requirement to report those in real time or as soon as is reasonably practical. Clause 36 already provides that regulations will be made to specify how and when reports should be made and what the details of those reports should be—including the detail of regulation to allow future changes of reporting requirements through secondary legislation. We are working very closely with the police to ensure that the regulations set out appropriate information and that all reporting systems are ready as soon as possible. We continue to work with stakeholders, including the police, to develop those regulations to ensure that their reports are received within appropriate timescales.
