Okay. Mr. Synnott said his organisation now has the highest number of testers it has ever had, and the highest number of completed tests.

Applus also has the highest demand it has ever had, however. It is all relative. That is where we need to get to. Does Mr. Synnott have the staff and tests to meet the demand? He does not at the minute. I am looking at the recruitment figures supplied to the committee of 113 last year and now 124, which is a net increase of 11. Where does Applus intend those figures to go this year and how is it going to be addressed?
