         MR. RAMPTON:  She asked if there was a chart and I saw it this
     2        morning, but not in that one, Professor Duxbury; the other
              one, the one you first referred to about methane.
     3        A.  Certainly, there is a table in the first book which is
              the one I have just been referring to.  The second book
     4        which is entitled "UK Environment" published in 1992 gives
              the methane emissions by source in 1990, and if we take
     5        cattle  -----
 
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Hold on a moment.  All counsel is asking if
              Miss Steel wants it, you could hand her the first book?
     7        A.  I can certainly do that, if she wishes to look at the
              table, yes.
     8
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It does not surprise me that she is slightly
     9        resistant to that because she just wanted to have some
              round figures to get some idea of comparison.  That is
    10        all.
 
    11   MISS STEEL:  That is right, yes, it is.  Never mind then.
 
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can you flag that?
              A.  Yes.
    13
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do not bother now.  No, in the first book.
    14        A.  Certainly I can call it -----
 
    15   Q.   I know you are fond of the UK because you seem to be more
              accurate about it, but it is the first ------
    16        A.  I have put a book mark in that particular page.
 
    17   Q.   Thank you very much.  Close them up then unless --  do you
              have anything more to ask on those figures?
    18
         MISS STEEL:  Not on those figures.
    19
         MR. JUSTICE STEEL:  No, close them up and it can be shown to
    20        anyone who wants to see it at the end of the day.
 
    21   MISS STEEL:  Thank you.  (To the witness):  I just wanted to
              ask on the beef cattle figures whether you could give us
    22        the starting figures, or may be give us photocopy of your
              calculations, just so we know the starting figures for the
    23        number of cattle used by McDonald's and the number used in
              the world?
    24        A.  Yes.
 
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Have you actually got them there?
              A.  Yes. 
    26 
         Q.   What figures have you got? 
    27        A.  Basically, I started out by initially making an
              assumption about using the UK figures which I have
    28        subsequently revised, once getting the global ones, as to
              roughly what might happen.  I was given an estimate that
    29        McDonald's used a certain percentage of the world total of
              cattle.  On the basis of knowing that and knowing with the
    30        emission is associated with -----
