My Lords, the noble and learned Lord asks a good question. I do not know the precise detail or exactly what form is filled out. According to the code of practice, we have to provide the defendant with a listed description of the seized property, set out the conditions for retention and provide forms for applying for a retention order. Other matters, such as letting the person know where the property is stored, have to be taken into account when filling out the form. There is a whole raft of requirements laid out in the procedure. I am afraid that I do not know them off the top of my head, but they are all laid out there.
