This isn't really the case. If you lose your logbook, you are required to get an affidavit detailing your hours as best you can, however this is not something you then have to submit to the CAA.
All you do is glue it in the front of your new logbook, and keep going. The CAA only need to see it when looking through your logbook when you apply for a rating/licence so they can match up the totals.
