Mr. Alex Chisholm:

The current number is 107. The authorised number would have been up to 125. That was when we took over responsibility for the regulation of premium rate services. Up to then there was a cap of 120. They had seven staff when they came in so we were given a new cap of 125. Since then it has been going down quite dramatically.
