I would like to finish with a comment rather than a question on an issue we can perhaps explore on another occasion, which is the safety and security of prison officers and their families, particularly in respect the impact of gangland crime. While spending is always an important issue, I urge the witnesses to do everything they can and to continue to do everything they are doing to ensure the safety and security of those people, who are often very vulnerable in their own communities. Prison officers are doing a huge job of work and they deserve a lot of credit for this.
