On technology, under subhead A2, there is an emphasis on that and in the Supplementary Estimate. If the Vice Chairman notes the new projects in 2021, he will see a large of portion of the ICT budget has been to facilitate and implement secure remote working access for all staff. That has allowed for a significant level of remote working but also ensured that it is secure. Having additional licensing and support to promote access and videoconference solutions has also been added to the IT cost. I am informed by officials that the security is up to date and it was also enhanced fully this year. That is the feedback from a security perspective.
