2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Sometimes it is less, I think.
3
4 MR. RAMPTON: That is not an exercise -----
5
6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is not just the same. (To the witness):
7 Is there a ready reason for that?
8 A. See if I understand what my Lord is asking. When
9 I take a look at the 13.1, and then I add up the 5.4, 4.7,
10 0.4, 2.6, I come up with 13.1.
11
12 MR. RAMPTON: Add the McDonald's figures?
13 A. Oh, OK, add McDonald's figures.
14
15 Q. I think that is what his Lordship is talking about. It is
16 something I have not done.
17 A. OK, let me do. That it would be 32.2.
18
19 Q. 32.2?
20 A. Yes.
21
22 Q. Do you know why that error, if it be an error, has occurred
23 or, if it is not an error, how it is explained?
24 A. No, I would say that the somebody or the person who did
25 this obviously added it up wrong. I , frankly, did not
26 check that. The specific numbers of 20 per cent and 7.6,
27 those are all, I know, very accurate. Someone in their
28 adding this up, it did not.
29
30 Q. We had better just -----
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Sometimes the difference is obviously very
33 small but, in so far as there is a difference between the
34 total and the different specific minority columns, if it
35 turns out to be important, we should add up the specific
36 columns to get what the correct figure should be under
37 minority, should we ---
38 A. Yes, we should.
39
40 Q. -- Mr. Stein?
41 A. Yes we should. I can tell you that as relates to the
42 McDonald's numbers, they were taken from, as we talked, D2,
43 and we can check that and come up with the totals, as my
44 Lord has suggested.
45
46 MR. RAMPTON: I think I am right that the categories in D2 have
47 been used by the person who made the table?
48 A. That is correct. The categories are identical.
49
50 Q. Except that Asian stands for Asian or Pacific Islander in
51 D2.
52
53 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He may not have added up the little
54 individual ones, he may have done his percentage
55 calculation each time, both on the overall total and on the
56 little ones, and from time to time got his percentages
57 slightly wrong.
58
59 MR. RAMPTON: If you look at the last page, Mr. Stein, of this
60 D1?
