- (b) to search the premises and take copies of, or extracts from, any document appearing to be of a kind in respect of which the application under subsection (1) was granted (“the relevant kind”);
- (c) to take possession of any document appearing to be of the relevant kind if—
- (i) such action appears to be necessary for preserving the document or preventing interference with it; or
- (ii) it is not reasonably practicable to take copies of the document on the premises;
- (d) to take any other steps which appear to be necessary for the purpose mentioned in paragraph (c) (i);
- (e) to require any person to provide an explanation of any document appearing to be of the relevant kind or to state, to the best of his knowledge and belief, where it may be found; and
- (f) to require any information which is held in a computer and is accessible from the premises and which the named officer considers relates to any matter relevant to the investigation, to be produced in a form—
