Day 173 - 16 Oct 95 - Page 35


     
     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL: But they sometimes worked part-time.
     2
     3   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, but in general it looks like they are
     4        full-timers.  They might have holiday, we do not know.
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is what it looks like.
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  Of those that are full-timers, which is 10 out of
     9        14 approximately -- sorry, let me have a think.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you want to take advantage of the few
    12        minutes extra I offered you over the midday adjournment,
    13        because if you do I suggest we break off now and come back
    14        at two o'clock.
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:  It is just that I wanted to get a couple of figures
    17        out of the way while it is in my mind.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL: OK.
    20
    21   MR. MORRIS:  It is just that I have calculated that there were
    22        27 full-time fortnights, that is, a fortnight over 70
    23        hours; and of those 27, nine were over 96 hours, a third of
    24        all the full-time fortnights were over 96 hours.  So
    25        I could ask you whether you accept that, but it is just
    26        that anyone could do the calculations.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Would it surprise you if that were so, about a
    29        third?
    30        A.  About a third, my Lord, over -- sorry?
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   96 hours per fortnight.
    33
    34   MR. MORRIS:  Of the full-time.
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Working, therefore, it might be suggested, in
    37        the high 40's of hours per week.
    38        A.  It would not be normal.
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  Maybe it is a good time to break.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  All right.  We will come back at five past
    43        two.
