     6   MS. STEEL:  Could we have two minutes to check that we have not
     7        got anything further?
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, just sit down and collect your thoughts.
    10        I will not leave court but tell me when you are ready.

    12   MS. STEEL:   Can I just ask, the nutritional leaflets, is there

    14        A.  Any cost to the stores?
    15
    16   Q.   Yes.

    37        potato growing.
    38
    39   Q.   Does that apply to other products as well or not?
    40        A.  It would apply to iceberg lettuce growing.
