I thank the delegates for coming. As my two colleagues said, we are blessed to have the opportunity to avail of their knowledge and expertise. Two very different conversations are taking place, as Professor O'Sullivan noted. I shall continue where Deputy Sean Sherlock left off and where Deputy Lisa Chambers started by referring to sextexting on digital devices. I suffered a pang of anxiety while listening to the debate because, no different from anybody else, I have bought mobile phones for my children, one of whom is now 16 years of age. The mobile phone was an upgrade and, therefore, on my account. Any parent listening to this debate and wondering who was responsible for such devices would have got a shock.
