I propose to take Questions Nos. 426 and 427 together.

The Deputy will appreciate that activities across the criminal justice system are costed under the headings of staffing, provision of buildings, ICT and a wide range of other factors. It is not possible to provide the information in the manner sought by the Deputy as costs are not disaggregated in this way.
