I do not want the Commissioner to do that. What I am really inquiring about is the numbers. In effect, the Commissioner is stating the answer to my question lies in the introduction of new legislation in respect of the Courts Service and how it processes payments. The other question which arises relates to the number of people who are imprisoned for the non-payment of fines and the number who are jailed not because they will not pay but because they cannot do so. Is there a figure and a cost available in that regard?
