3 MS. STEEL: If you could turn to page 3 of your statement? It
4 is bundle page 121, I think.
5 A. OK.

7 Q. In paragraph 10, you refer to the meeting of 16th November,
8 and you go on to say: "During the course of this and other
9 meetings I attended, it was clear to me that Helen Steel
10 and Dave Morris were" -- and whoever drafted this statement
11 put "the core members of the group", and you crossed out
12 "the" and said "were core members of the group and were
13 major participants in its activities".
14
15 So, it was not your view that we were the two people solely
16 responsible for everything going on in the group?
17 A. No, not at all.
18
19 Q. That was a general impression across all the meetings?
20 A. The general impression across the meetings, a lot of it
21 was to do with personalities and to do with strength of
22 opinion, I think, and those people with stronger
23 personalities tended to dominate what was going on; and it
24 would depend who was there as to who -- there were
25 certainly a core membership of people who had stronger
26 personalities and fairly regular attendance.

38 being clear from the meeting that myself and Mr. Morris
39 were core members. That does not appear in your notes;
40 and, in fact, Mr. Morris was not even at that meeting. So
41 it could not have been clear to you during the course of
42 this meeting?
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is says "during the course of this and
45 other meetings".
46
47 MS. STEEL: Yes, and "this"; i.e. it was clear during this
48 meeting and other meetings.
49
50 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Well, that is not the way I read it. It does
51 not say that. It says "this and other meetings".
52
53 MR. MORRIS: Can you name all the activities that I participated
54 in, the group's activities that I participated in?
55 A. No.
56
57 Q. Can you name them all?
58 A. No.
59
60 Q. Can you name any of the group's activities that I
