1
2 Q. About the blanked out part, did you ever, in the middle of
3 these meetings, make a note of something completely
4 unconnected to what was going on at the meetings?
5 A. Unconnected to what was going on at the meetings?
6
7 Q. Yes.
8 A. Well, yes, if it involved, I suppose, details I had
9 found out concerning someone's identity. I suppose that
10 would be unconnected with what was going on at the meeting.
11
12 Q. In the middle of it, you would not start talking about a
13 lunch you had with someone on a previous day or how you
14 your great-aunt was, or private information about the Kings
15 Investigation Bureau, or some other matter that you were
16 dealing with?
17 A. It seems unlikely.
18
19 Q. It would all be about what was going on at the meeting and
20 what you had heard at the meeting and seen at the meeting?
21 A. That was the intention of the reports, yes.
22
23 MR. MORRIS: You talked about Paul Gravett being keen to debate
24 with McDonald's, through the World Service BBC forum
25 anyway; yes?
26 A. I do not think I said he was keen to. I certainly
27 said -----
28
29 Q. Do you remember him being keen, that he felt it was a good
30 opportunity?
31 A. As far as I recall, I think he was -- yes, he would
32 have liked to.
33
34 MS. STEEL: If we move on to 22nd February. This was a public
35 meeting at Endsleigh Street, and in attendance were
36 Paul Gravett, Helen Steel, Jane, Charlie and Jonathan, and
37 about 30 other people from various other groups. You say:
38
39 "The meeting continued through until approximately
40 10.10 p.m. Nothing of relevance to this case was said
41 during the course of the meeting."
42
43 You confirm all that, yes?
44 A. I do, yes.
45
46 Q. Then you went to the Eliza Doolittle Public House, and you
47 make a note:
48
49 "In the pub, the following information was learned.
50 Paul Gravett has not yet made press releases concerning the
51 refusal by McDonald's to take part in a debate on a BBC
52 World Service programme, but he said again that he intended
53 to make these press releases, as he sees them as a
54 potentially significant propaganda victory for
55 London Greenpeace. It was also mentioned at one point that
56 both Paul Gravett and Jane have a strong involvement with
57 Hackney and Islington Animal Rights group."
58
59 You can confirm that, yes?
60 A. Yes, I can.
