1 Q. Also the corrugated packaging started increasing in
2 recycled content as well?
3 A. Yes, but that is -- yes.
4
5 Q. Was that because when Perseco was established that was one
6 of the -- what is the word? -- aims or charges you were
7 given?
8 A. Yes.
9
10 Q. You are aware of McDonald's attitude. You said something
11 about their attitude earlier on. That attitude, did it
12 apply to all their other suppliers as well as far as you
13 know?
14 A. I could not tell you. I would assume so.
15
16 Q. Did there seem to be ----
17 A. You would have to ask somebody from McDonald's that who
18 is responsible for food supplies.
19
20 Q. You asked in this survey about the percentage that was
21 post-industrial or post-consumer, so the exact percentages
22 of post-consumer and post-industrial, say, for the UK,
23 those figures you have given for 1991 of total recycled
24 content, then you went through from your own experience of
25 what the PI and PC content were of that recycled content?
26 A. We tried to establish it.
27
28 Q. Is that because they answered the questionnaire like all
29 the other countries when that information was gathered in
30 that way?
31 A. We tried to gather that information if it was known and
32 if they could indicate it to us. I think we have
33 answered ----
34
35 Q. Was a chart done to that effect? I know we do not have a
36 copy of it here.
37 A. No. No, the chart never show differences between
38 post-industrial and post-consumer.
39
40 Q. So these forms that were filled in, these ones here on the
41 next page of your appendix?
42 A. Yes.
43
44 Q. You still have those forms, do you, for each separate
45 country?
46 A. For each separate supplier.
47
48 Q. For each separate DC? Is it DC?
49 A. Supplier. I send these to a supplier, yes.
50
51 Q. It has not got the recycled percentage. I do not see where
52 the question comes about -- if Mr. Rampton stops answering
53 my question.
54
55 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, Mr. Morris is not helping the witness to
56 answer the question. With respect, he should draw the
57 witness's attention to the words on page 8 "Against
58 recycled perc" which is short for "percentage" I take it,
59 and then perhaps the witness can answer the question.
