Day 274 - 04 Jul 96 - Page 31


     
     1        remember if I was at that meeting or not, though I feel
     2        that I probably would have attended the meeting after the
     3        fayre, but no, I cannot say for sure.
     4
     5   Q.   Yes.  Can I tell you, you were at the majority of the 6
     6        Endsleigh Street open meetings throughout the last part of
     7        1989 and 1990?
     8        A.  The majority, yes.
     9
    10   Q.   Not all, no.  Can you just turn over the page please to
    11        page 17.  You see in the middle of the page there is a
    12        paragraph which starts "The speaker from London
    13        Greenpeace".  I am not going to read it out.  We have read
    14        it before.  Can you just read that short paragraph?
    15        A.  It says: "The speaker from London Greenpeace --"
    16
    17   Q.   Sorry, read it to yourself.  No need to give a
    18        dissertation.  That is Dave Morris, is it not?
    19        A.  Yes.  I mean, well, it sounds like a description of
    20        Dave Morris.
    21
    22   Q.   There is another description of him in another note on the
    23        same occasion, but I will not trouble you with that.  Will
    24        you also --
    25
    26   MR. MORRIS:  It is not disputed that that was me.
    27
    28   MR. RAMPTON:  It is not in dispute.  Will you also accept that
    29        he was at meetings at the same time as you on 1st March
    30        1990, 19th April 1990, 26th April 1990, 19th July 1990 and
    31        2nd August 1990, according to these notes?
    32        A.  I mean, if that is what the notes say, but, I mean, I
    33        do not have a specific recollection.
    34
    35   Q.   We are going to look at a few of them now, but before we do
    36        that, I just want to ask you one question about those, if I
    37        can find them.  You remember those additional points which
    38        Ms. Steel came to at the end of her examination in-chief?
    39        A.  Yes.
    40
    41   Q.   In which you confirmed a statement about Michelle Hooker,
    42        that she had a relationship with somebody in the group?
    43        A.  Yes.
    44
    45   Q.   Yes.  What is the point of mentioning that, Miss Laporte?
    46        A.  I do not know really.  I mean, she was -- personally I
    47        found it a bit disturbing to find that an infiltrator had
    48        had a relationship with somebody in the group.
    49
    50   Q.   That is as may be, but what is its relevance, why did you
    51        want to mention that?
    52        A.  I do not know.  It is something that I wanted to say.
    53
    54   Q.   I see.  In fact, she did not join the group until the end
    55        of August 1990, did she?
    56        A.  Yes.
    57
    58   Q.   And when did this relationship, and I use the word in
    59        inverted commas, when did this relationship with, I think
    60        it was Charlie Brook, was it not, when did it begin?
