    19   MR. MORRIS:  We can move on now.  Briefly moving on to beef
    20        products, I think you commented somewhere in one of your
    21        statements that you agreed with the statement of Keith
    22        Kenny, McDonald's equivalent to you, or similar to you, in
    23        the UK.  You just said in your statement:  "I confirm the
    24        practices and procedures which he describes under these
    25        three headings, monitoring, supply" ----
    26        A.  May I see it?
    27
    28   Q.   Yes.
    29        A.  I do not know remember the context.
    30
    31   Q.   It is your supplementary statement.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If you get yellow IX, please, if you look at
    34        tab 3 of that volume, paragraphs 3 and 4, is what
    35        Mr. Morris has in mind.
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  Can you read paragraphs 3 and 4?
    38        A.  OK, I have.
    39
    40   Q.   Obviously, do you agree with that?
    41        A.  Let me read it.
    42
    43   Q.   It is your own statement?
    44        A.  I do not remember.  Let us see.  I need to go back and
    45        see Mr. Keith Kenny's statement.  Where can I find
    46        the -----
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  All is being said for the moment is that you
    49        have read Mr. Kenny's statement, and the practices which he
    50        describes under the three heads set out in paragraph 3 are 
    51        the same in the US and other countries where McDonald's 
    52        operates, apart from certain minor variations to take 
    53        account of local regulations?
    54        A.  Yes.
    55
    56   MR. MORRIS:  So you agree with that?
    57        A.  Yes.
    58
    59   Q.   That is to save time.  As regards beef, do you know about
    60        the McKey's plant in Milton Keynes?  Have you visited
