Speaker 7
4.  Morning, everybody.  Welcome to this meeting of the Justice and Home Affairs Committee, which is doing a follow up on our earlier work on electronic monitoring.  We're absolutely delighted to have our two guests before us.  Before we go any further, I'd be grateful if you could just both introduce yourselves. 
00:22 - 00:31
Speaker 3
Thank you, Lord Chair.  My name is Ian Lawrence.  I'm the general secretary of Napo, which is the trade union representing probation and family court staff. 
00:31 - 00:39
Speaker 4
I'm Ben Cockburn.  I'm the national chair of Napo.  I'm a probation officer, so it's an elected role from within union membership.  Thanks. 
00:39 - 00:52
Speaker 7
Thank you very much.  And I understand you're both happy to be called Ben and Ian.  Well, you might be Ben, you could be Ian, but not both Ben and Ian.  We'll kick off with a question from Lord Moraes.
