I thank Professor Crowley very much for that presentation. As well as being Chair, I am first on the list with questions and it is not that I am going ahead of people.

I have heard so many great things about the excellent work that all the witnesses do, so I very much appreciate the fact that they have appeared before the committee to speak to us today.

My first question is in respect of certain male influencers and the impact that is having. During the course of our guests' work on these programmes, I was wondering if they are seeing or have noticed the impact on attitudes of young people as a result of some of that influence online with regard to their views on sex and consent? How is that coming to the fore at this moment in time? This is a question for any of our guests who would like to answer it, please.
