On that issue, while it may be a truism, people say there are many people in prison who should not be there and many outside who should be. What is the position regarding committals to prison for non-payment of fines? Is that practice ended? There was legislation on this issue some time ago. Is the practice over and done with or can people still be sent to jail for not paying their television licence?
