Day 277 - 10 Jul 96 - Page 31
1 A. But as it says "do not request large quantities".
2
3 Q. But this is mid to late 1990?
4
5 A. I don't know when it is, I do not have anything to do
6 with it. I do not know when this leaflet was produced
7 apart from the fact it says 1990 at the top of it, but--
8
9 Q. Do you remember the Veggies version that Mr. Smith produced
10 the other day when he came to give evidence which we never
11 noticed before, I think, it had been disclosed in fact. Do
12 you remember that?
13 A. The Veggies fact sheet?
14
15 Q. Yes?
16 A. Yes.
17
18 Q. No, not the one that had been altered, the not the big A3
19 folder, the pre1991 version?
20 A. Yes.
21
22 Q. That was altered, I think we probably agree, as a result of
23 an intervention at the end of 1987 on behalf of McDonald's;
24 right?
25 A. Yes.
26
27 Q. But the original version, which we all saw in court the
28 other day, I don't know where it has gone, but the wording,
29 the material words of that are precisely the same as the
30 London Greenpeace version?
31 A. The original one?
32
33 Q. Yes?
34 A. Yes, except they have got two extra pages.
35
36 Q. Yes, yes, but the whole of what is complained of as libel
37 in this case is reproduced in that Veggies leaflet is it
38 not?
39 A. Yes.
40
41 Q. And do you say that was handed out on 16th October 1989?
42 A. There were -- there was a version, as you say, that
43 Veggies produced after the intervention by McDonald's, as
44 you put it, and it is quite possible that somebody could
45 have brought that version to the picket, a few of that, you
46 know, like a handful of copies or something like that, in
47 case somebody asked for more information.
48
49 Q. Were the original Veggies versions stored, or were some of
50 them stored? I don't mean the whole lot, but were some of
51 them stored at 5 Caledonian Road as far as you can
52 remember?
53 A. I remember seeing them from time to time in the
54 office. I don't really know where they were stored or, you
55 know, whether they were there the whole time or what. I do
56 not have a great interest in exactly what leaflets were out
57 on the shelves.
58
59 Q. How often did you see Mr. Morris at London Greenpeace
60 during 1988 and the early part of 1989?
