Mr. Kevin McCarthy:
I will confirm the precise number, but we are in and around the 500 mark at this point in time. Obviously, there are plans to grow that further. As part of the Ukraine response, we have 135 people in our Ukraine division at the moment, which is a combination of people who have been reassigned internally into that division, people who are with us on loan from other Departments on secondment and so on, and others who were commissioned into the division.
