     1        A.  No, with the proviso that I would expect to see any
     2        documents related to beef which I was purchasing from them.
     3        In other words, I would expect to see any documents on any
     4        animals or any bacteriological results referring to my
     5        beef.
     6
     7   Q.   If you wanted copies of those you would expect to be able
     8        to get copies?
     9        A.  Yes.
    10
    11   MS. STEEL:  No further questions.  Thank you.
    12
    13                       Re-Examined by Mr. Rampton.
    14
    15   Q.   Mr. Walker, it may sound funny, can we have a look, please,
    16        at the coloured pictures of the hanging carcasses
    17        showing  -----
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They are in your blue file which you had out
    20        of your briefcase.
    21
    22   THE WITNESS:  They are in my briefcase.  (Handed)
    23
    24   MR. RAMPTON:  Can you find in there the bits of the animals that
    25        are used to make McDonald's hamburger patties, please?
    26        A.  There you have got the full forequarter.  It is not in
    27        the correct position.  There is the hindquarter flank.
    28
    29   Q.   Is that like a jigsaw puzzle?
    30        A.  Yes.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is the hindquarter skirt at the top?
    33        A.  Yes, sir, hindquarter flank.
    34
    35   MR. RAMPTON:  Can you show that piece reconstituted by reference
    36        to a picture of a side or carcass?
    37        A.  Yes.  I am just looking for the biggest side that
    38        I have got.  That is why I am flicking through them because
    39        these are all the different grades of beef steak and cows
    40        and butcher cows.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just hold it up so that everyone can see.
    43        A.  If this was being cut for McDonald's, it would be cut
    44        like that, to the 13th rib.
    45
    46   MR. RAMPTON:  So the lower -----
    47        A.  The whole of that forequarter goes to McDonald's and
    48        that hind quarter flank.
    49
    50   Q.   I see.  May we, if we need to, borrow those so that we can 
    51        make coloured copies of them? 
    52        A.  Yes. 
    53
    54   Q.   My Lord, that is all the re-examination I have.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, thank you.  Thank you Mr. Walker.
    57        A.  Thank you, sir.
