Day 267 - 21 Jun 96 - Page 41
1 York about McDonald's"?
2 A. That is correct.
3
4 Q. Can you just look at this letter for a moment? (Same
5 handed). That is a letter from Peter Taulk there, and is
6 that your writing at the top of the page which says
7 "Caledonian Road, 8th of the 5th 90"?
8 A. It looks like it, yes.
9
10 Q. Do you recognise all the other letters there? They were
11 disclosed to us as letters taken by inquiry agents?
12 A. I have not seen it.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: How many letters is he to look at?
15
16 MS. STEEL: Well, actually some of them are just cover sheets.
17 Most of it is a big letter at the back which has got a
18 whole load of documents with it?
19 A. Sorry? What am I looking at?
20
21 MS. STEEL: Whether or not you recognise those as the letters
22 that you took, bearing in mind they have been disclosed to
23 us as letters taken from the group by inquiry agents, and
24 that you do recognise that particular one?
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: By an inquiry agent or inquiry agents?
27
28 MS. STEEL: When I wrote the letter referring to Mr. Claire's
29 statement, because he said about having taken letters, I
30 asked for all letters to be disclosed which had been taken
31 by inquiry agents and that is what was given in response?
32 A. I do not recall. After this amount of time, if it
33 said Mr. Peter Taulk then that is Peter Taulk, but I cannot
34 recall from here.
35
36 Q. You cannot recall all the rest of them?
37 A. Well, no.
38
39 Q. But you might well have taken them?
40 A. I recall taking letters, or a couple of letters, on
41 occasion.
42
43 Q. But you did admit just a moment ago to taking a number on
44 one occasion?
45 A. I dare say a number on one occasion. I cannot
46 recall. If I said a number, I said a number, but I do not
47 recall what I would have taken.
48
49 MR. MORRIS: Right. You were just trying to get hold of any
50 letters you could get hold of, so you do not particularly
51 remember when it was or how many you took?
52 A. No, the letters I would have taken would be
53 specifically relating to the antiMcDonald's campaign and
54 would more than likely have come from abroad.
55
56 Q. Right. But any letters coming from that category about the
57 antiMcDonald's campaign you would have tried to get hold
58 of?
59 A. No, not at all. I may have made a mental note. I may
60 have made a note of the content, or a relevant part of that
