9 MR. MORRIS: It is a document in Swedish, which I will not ask
10 you to translate, you will be pleased to know. There is a
11 translation behind it.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What does it look like?
14
15 MR. MORRIS: It is...
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. That is 6 is it?
18
19 MR. MORRIS: It is in the directory at the front, it should be
20 in the index. Have you seen that? I am sure you have not
21 seen it before but this is, I am reliably informed, Swedish
22 broadcasting regulations, and the translation at the back,

47 A. Yes.
48
49 Q. OK. Thank you. That is all. Do you know what the reason
50 for those bans are?

52 not begin to guess.
53
54 Q. OK. We can leave that document. I think that is all with
55 that file. Thank you very much.

57 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, might I say something which I was
58 attempting to say a moment ago. I have said it in a way.
