Having a recruitment process that is entirely specialised for this office would create an amount of administration that would severely hamper the effective delivery of the scheme. The key element is the ability of the office to make determinations in an independent manner on the thousands of applications that will come into it.That is the key element. The appointment of staff will be done through the normal Civil Service appointing process, which will enable us to deliver staff swiftly. As I have said before, staff operating in this executive office will be receiving that specific training.
