Sussex Police are no longer required to issue out Lost Property numbers or document the report of lost passports.

Ref: http://www.sussex.police.uk/help-centre ... shall-i-do

This advice from at least this one police force suggests police don't routinely log lost passports any more.

Suggest contact your embassy & see if it is necessary to report the loss to them.

Suggest explain (on the form) that police now only issue reports for stolen passports not lost ones. And if you register the loss with the embassy you can state that fact, along with quoting any reference from the embassy.

Thanks again I think I do that explain on the form as you suggested.
