I apologise for my lateness, which was due to business going on in the House. I thank the witnesses for their presentations. The witness reports are very interesting and I want to drill down into some aspects of them. Picking up on the previous point, Mr. Church mentioned that children continue to seek support in increasing numbers online because they may be concerned that a telephone conversation could be overheard at home. Can he substantiate that hypothesis, because it is an important point?
If a child makes the switch from a telephone call to online, Mr. Church is hypothesising as to the reason for it. Does he have anything to back that up?
