     1        witness brandishing which I do not have.
     2
     3   MS. STEEL:   Are you referring to this one?  You had a copy of
     4        that quite a while back.
     5
     6   MR. RAMPTON:  That is Mr. Cannon's book.  What about the blue
     7        thing?
     8
     9   MR. MORRIS:  The blue one you have the abstracts which
    10        Mr. Cannon is going to be referring to.  That was served
    11        on Friday.
    12
    13   MS. STEEL:   You had most of it a few weeks ago.
    14
    15   THE WITNESS:  It is not hard to get.  As I say, they are HMSO,
    16        I hope.
    17
    18   MR. MORRIS:  Let us quickly go through.
    19
    20   THE WITNESS:  This list I think I can leave, if this would be
    21        helpful to Mr. Rampton?
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, he has a copy now.
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  If we quickly go through the Research Grant
    26        Announcement from the World Cancer Research Fund.  Is
    27        there any particular point you want to make?
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is No. 2, is it?
    30
    31   MR. MORRIS:  That is No. 2 on the list.
    32        A.  I doubt there is anything there that adds much.
    33        I think the statements which are relevant to this case
    34        which is about the current state of scientific knowledge
    35        are on page 3, the page headed "Background".  That gives a
    36        brief account of the history of the development of the
    37        scientific consensus on diet and cancer.  What is stated
    38        there I have already stated in court today, I believe.
    39
    40   MS. STEEL:   I do not know whether our copies are the same.  My
    41        Background is not at page 3.  My one is at page 57.
    42        I think we may have put the photocopies in the wrong order
    43        or something.
    44
    45   THE WITNESS:  Perhaps I should explain the standing of this
    46        document.  This is a document that is circulated to
    47        research scientists who wish to apply for grants from the
    48        World Cancer Research Fund to carry out research to do
    49        with diet and cancer.  These grants are reviewed by a
    50        panel listed on page 4, and that panel itself also 
    51        reviewed this document that is now in front of us.  I am 
    52        assuming the court has page 4? 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  It is just that we have probably mixed them
    55        up in the photocopying.
    56
    57   MS. STEEL:   When you say page 4, what is the heading?
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I can see the numbers in white and the
    60        shading in the columns.
