00:00On the very specific issue of accidental release, which, like, to the public, that is frankly crazy.
00:05It happens a lot.
00:06Sure. But as I said, you know, and we, Robert Jennings, our Shadow Justice Secretary, said 60 a year, which is roughly what we had, is 60 too many.
00:13We accept that. We did have those issues under us.
00:16But they had 262. There must be something fundamentally going wrong in the system.
00:20And I think the public find it hard to have faith that it's going to be fixed when the person in charge of it, David Lammy,
00:26cannot even answer a question in Parliament when it's put to him very clearly five times.
00:31I mean, it's frustrating for me. God knows what the public thought.
