A question was asked about your ability to hire staff and the Chairman asked about the differentiation in salaries between what the private sector is offering and what the public sector offers. I trained as a solicitor myself right after the boom, when hundreds of my fellow solicitors were graduating into unemployment. Is there not a vast pool of people out there looking to be trained and to get their foot in the door of a legal practice?
