I will not take all of that time because I know other people want to come in before the break. I will ask a series of questions, some of which will be straightforward quickfire questions. I will start off with compensation and legal costs. Is there a reason that legal costs for claims by prisoners are far higher than the level of compensation awarded? It is the only category in which we are paying more in legal costs than we are in compensation itself. Is there a reason for that?
