I welcome the witnesses and thank them for engaging with the committee on the report and the proposed legislation. Am I correct that of the 8,000 people arrested and convicted on suspicion of drink driving in 2015-2016, in 2015, 501 people received fixed penalty notices and this subsequently rose to 617 in 2016?
