I

Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions; Department of Jobs, Tourism,
Science and Innovation; and Department of Water and Environmental Regulation;
and how many of the additional 150 staff will be recruited by each agency and
by when?
(2) Broadly speaking, noting
endemic skills shortages, from where are these staff likely to be recruited?
Hon SUE
