Mr. Richard Browne:
There were two separate competitions in 2017 and two in 2018, building on previous competitions and general service recruitment. In 2017 we brought in five cybersecurity specialists and eight cybersecurity responders. The first recruits from the 2018 competitions will start to arrive on 18 December. Both competitions are complete and the staff are now joining us. As of today, we are at a figure of 22.
