This date is our basedate. No versions before this date are available. For further information see the Editorial Practice Guide and Glossary under Help.

(2)A direction under this section must be given in writing, unless that is not reasonably practicable.
(3)A constable who gives a person a direction under this section must (unless it is not reasonably practicable)—
