I have a number of questions. My first is about the adult caution scheme and cannabis. It was introduced in 2021. There is controversy about the numbers particularly since it was introduced. What are the witnesses' opinions on how that has worked out? The figures I have seen are that the cautions and those directed towards court are very imbalanced. The idea is to give a person a caution if they have cannabis in their possession.
