Yes. The premise of this part of the legislation is to make sure we will have a sledgehammer to hit people over the head if they do not adhere to it. We are giving them a reasonable amount of time - five days - in which to provide the five pieces of information and they are very simple. The sledgehammer will be used. If we were to change that requirement and the number of days from five to one, I would have no choice but to remove the criminal offence. What we would then have is entirely meaningless legislation.
