I cannot respond unduly to the hon. Member. I am certain that we should have a totally humane approach where there are very low resources, and that that should be done regardless of the nature of the crime. I take the point that the hon. Member is not condoning the crime. But beyond that the taxpayer should not reasonably be asked to go. I shall gladly look at any particular case if the hon. Member wishes me to do so.
