     2   Q.   We see that for Officials and Managers who are female
     3        McDonald's outscores the national percentage by some 21 per
     4        cent, is it not?
     5        A.  I am sorry?
     6
     7   Q.   That was a bit of a muddle.  Look at females US -----
     8        A.  Just to make sure everybody is tracking with us, if we
     9        can?  "M" at the top, "US", that refers to the US
    10        government's statistics that I mentioned.  It deals with
    11        males.  Then underneath that "McD", those are McDonald's,
    12        if you will.
    13
    14   Q.   Look at the second block which is "F"?
    15        A.  Those are females.
    16
    17   Q.   Apparently, according to the government, 36 per cent of
    18        those employed in the United States by companies are
    19        female?
    20        A.  That is correct.
    21
    22   Q.   Whereas at McDonald's it is 57?
    23        A.  57.
    24
    25   Q.   If you look across, sorry, go down a block?
    26        A.  Yes, those are totals.
    27
    28   Q.   Those are totals?
    29        A.  Yes, "T" represents totals.
    30
    31   Q.   That is male and female?
    32        A.  That is correct.
    33
    34   Q.   American companies employ, if you look at the fourth column
    35        or the third column of percentages, about 13.1 per cent of
    36        their workforce from the ethnic minorities?
    37        A.  That is correct.
    38
    39   Q.   Whereas the figure for McDonald's is 30.6 per cent?
    40        A.  That is correct.
    41
    42   Q.   This is within the category Officials and Managers.  What,
    43        so far as McDonald's are concerned, does that mean?
    44        A.  That would be our Manager trainees all the way up to
    45        the CEO.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Could I just ask?  In the minority column we
    48        have percentages, but if I add Black, Hispanic,
    49        American/Indian, Asian and Others -- I notice that in that
    50        box anyway all the others are 0 per cent -- I do not come 
    51        to the total minority.  Sometimes it is within a decimal 
    52        point but sometimes there is more than 1 per cent 
    53        difference ---
    54        A.  That is right.
    55
    56   Q.   -- just doing them in my head.
    57
    58   MR. RAMPTON:  Your Lordship is absolutely right.  The individual
    59        members are greater in total than the figure given under
    60        minorities.  That is quite right.
