I thank Ms Lawlor and Professor Stevens. I particularly welcome Ms Eastwood. I guess that is a northern accent. It is great to hear somebody talk authoritatively on this issue. Does international evidence show that sanctions attached to diversion work? What is the position regarding the discretionary element when it comes to diversion?
