3 Now, that is in 1990?
4 A. Yes.
5
6 Q. You, I take it, would disagree with so -- what shall I
7 say -- a cautious approach?
8 A. Not entirely, Mr. Rampton. I think I will qualify
9 that. I do not know quite where the final recommendations
10 are in this report, because what they are referring to is
11 table 2, see page 67.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is table 11?
14 A. Table 11, is it?
15
16 Q. But do refer back to it if you want.
17
18 MR. RAMPTON: Please do.
19 A. And my guess is that table 11 will refer to many
20 different types of cancer, some of which are not related to

40 Q. Although, in fact, prostate gets two plus in the table and
41 breast cancer only gets one?
42
43 MR. MORRIS: Breast cancer gets a body weight plus as well.
44
45 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, I can read, thank you, Mr. Morris.
46
47 MR. MORRIS: Well, Mr. --
48
49 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Morris, please just -- we had this
50 argument before. It may be a tiresome way of doing it, but
51 if you want to make the point you have got to come back to
52 it in re-examination, which is what you did.
53
54 MR. MORRIS: But Mr. Rampton is not allowed to put selective
55 inaccurate points.
56
57 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let Mr. Rampton put what he wants to and then
58 you put what you want in re-examination.
