Traditionally and now women make up a lower number of the prison population. That obviously has increased. Has any analysis been done on this? We have been given some information as to why there has been an increase in the prison population because of increased court capacity and things like that. Is that likely to have been a catch-up or is there an expectation that it will increase further?
