Will Mr. Drennan explain what he feels needs to be done to support his work in combating white-collar crime by modernising and updating search powers and having regard to electronic data, and especially data stored in the cloud? I fully take his point on it not just being about quantity and that even if one had 100 people, if they were not suitable they will not be of use. Will he comment on how many people, and what grade, group or category or worker, are needed to perform the other functions, separate from IT? Perhaps he could put a figure on the detailed work that the office needs to do with regard to numbers of accountants, forensic accountants and those IT supports.

Perhaps Mr. Drennan could give us an idea in terms of numbers and grades how many additional personnel will be needed?
