I thank the Minister for that clarification. Essentially, he is saying that we will not know how many times the directed power has been used, or to what purpose. Police and crime panels and commissioners who may be asked to pay for the consequences of the directed power being used will have little understanding  of what impact it has had. That is concerning. I urge the Minister to reflect on how such information might be able to be released.
