Out of interest, what sway do you imagine Huawei hold over the staff at the cyber security centre by virtue of paying their wages?

And what sway do you think HMG has over those same staff without paying them a penny? Would that change if they paid them their wages? Would those wages be the same, higher of lower, and what effect would that likely have on who is attracted to that work?

A lot of questions I know, but I think it’s important to look at more than simply who pays the wages. That’s a little tabloid I feel (I know, I know, I can see the red banner :)
