The Minister said earlier that there was a 10% increase in the budget for these agencies as a result of Brexit. Obviously we all welcome that. I have four very specific questions for the Minister. I am looking for specific figures which, I presume, the Minister will be able to give me off the top of her head or else they will be in her supplementary notes. What is the total number of additional staff members in the IDA to deal with Brexit? How many IDA staff members are there in Britain? How many staff members are in the London office? What is the total headcount of the IDA in February 2017 compared with February 2016? In summary, I want to know the number of extra staff members in the IDA to cope with Brexit, the number of staff members in Britain and in London and the total headcount this month versus this time last year.
