     1        would not be giving a fair assessment of my views if I
     2        tried to put a figure on that.  I really would not.
     3
     4   Q.   Yes, thank you, Mr. Monbiot.
     5
     6                       Re-examined by Mr. Morris
     7
     8   Q.  Just one question.  When you identified, with the sweep of
     9        your hands, this area here -----
    10
    11   MR. RAMPTON:   This does not arise out of cross-examination.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   What do you want to ask about?  If it is
    14        something important, I probably will not stop you anyway.
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:  (To the witness)  I was just going to say, if you
    17        look to that whole area.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  Do not ask a question here because a
    20        point has been taken.
    21
    22   MR. MORRIS:  I was just going to ask, lush green belt.  Whether
    23        that would come under his definition of lush green belt.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Which area are we talking about because it is
    26        all right putting a hand across and I saw where, but as I
    27        understand it with his rider, that good though this map is,
    28        it cannot show the complexity on the ground.
    29
    30   MR. MORRIS:  Right.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  And that you cannot draw straight lines or
    33        even, I have inferred, curly well-defined lines, it is
    34        accepted that this map is accurate and that we can see --
    35        just pause a moment.  (Pause)  By the designations, it is
    36        generally forested, I put it that way.  What are you -----
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:   I will not ask the question.  No further
    39        questions.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you, Mr. Monbiot.  Thank you for
    42        coming.
    43        A.   Thank you very much.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You said Mr. Secrett, unhappily, had not been
    46        very well, but he is coming tomorrow.
    47
    48   MR. MORRIS:   He is coming tomorrow.  I am hoping to see him
    49        this afternoon, to be as efficient as possible tomorrow.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What about that extra ----- 
    52 
    53   MR. MORRIS:   I asked them to try and fax to it me last night,
    54        but it did not come through.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  How long did you understand it was?
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:   I understand it was just a conclusion sentence
    59        from what he said to me and then a signature after it which
    60        basically made a conclusion about what went on above.  So I
