Day 274 - 04 Jul 96 - Page 31
1 remember if I was at that meeting or not, though I feel
2 that I probably would have attended the meeting after the
3 fayre, but no, I cannot say for sure.
4
5 Q. Yes. Can I tell you, you were at the majority of the 6
6 Endsleigh Street open meetings throughout the last part of
7 1989 and 1990?
8 A. The majority, yes.
9
10 Q. Not all, no. Can you just turn over the page please to
11 page 17. You see in the middle of the page there is a
12 paragraph which starts "The speaker from London
13 Greenpeace". I am not going to read it out. We have read
14 it before. Can you just read that short paragraph?
15 A. It says: "The speaker from London Greenpeace --"
16
17 Q. Sorry, read it to yourself. No need to give a
18 dissertation. That is Dave Morris, is it not?
19 A. Yes. I mean, well, it sounds like a description of
20 Dave Morris.
21
22 Q. There is another description of him in another note on the
23 same occasion, but I will not trouble you with that. Will
24 you also --
25
26 MR. MORRIS: It is not disputed that that was me.
27
28 MR. RAMPTON: It is not in dispute. Will you also accept that
29 he was at meetings at the same time as you on 1st March
30 1990, 19th April 1990, 26th April 1990, 19th July 1990 and
31 2nd August 1990, according to these notes?
32 A. I mean, if that is what the notes say, but, I mean, I
33 do not have a specific recollection.
34
35 Q. We are going to look at a few of them now, but before we do
36 that, I just want to ask you one question about those, if I
37 can find them. You remember those additional points which
38 Ms. Steel came to at the end of her examination in-chief?
39 A. Yes.
40
41 Q. In which you confirmed a statement about Michelle Hooker,
42 that she had a relationship with somebody in the group?
43 A. Yes.
44
45 Q. Yes. What is the point of mentioning that, Miss Laporte?
46 A. I do not know really. I mean, she was -- personally I
47 found it a bit disturbing to find that an infiltrator had
48 had a relationship with somebody in the group.
49
50 Q. That is as may be, but what is its relevance, why did you
51 want to mention that?
52 A. I do not know. It is something that I wanted to say.
53
54 Q. I see. In fact, she did not join the group until the end
55 of August 1990, did she?
56 A. Yes.
57
58 Q. And when did this relationship, and I use the word in
59 inverted commas, when did this relationship with, I think
60 it was Charlie Brook, was it not, when did it begin?
