In terms of the bodies which are using external drafting people, I assume this relates to the locum of the situation. In terms of costs, when somebody external is being brought in to draft legislation when there is a capacity issue, does it cost more in net terms to bring in an external person or is it cheaper to have it done in-house, if the staff was there theoretically? Is there an added expense to bringing in drafters? Do they get more per hour than the person who works in the office every day?
