Mr. Richard Browne:
We had 25 staff in early 2021. Today we have 56. We have a live chief technology officer recruitment process under way. Recently we completed a cybersecurity specialist competition. We have sanction for 62 staff this year. It might take until February to get all of these 62 roles in place. It will be a substantial increase in capability. We have more staffing to be agreed for 2024. We are dramatically increasing scale.
