     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes, it is in defendant's expert references
     4        volume 1 which has a pale green on the back and it is
     5        divider 3, Miss Brophy's reference.  (Same handed).
     6        A.   Yes.
     7
     8   MS. STEEL:   OK.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.  I am impressed by Mr. Rampton
    11        remembering this, I must say.
    12
    13   MS. STEEL:  Sorry?
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am impressed by Mr. Rampton being able to
    16        remember it.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  I had looked at it last night.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am getting lost with which document is in
    21        this case even after two years.
    22
    23   MR. RAMPTON:  I was looking at it last night, that is all.
    24
    25   MS. STEEL:  As we see on the front cover it is dated September
    26        '93?
    27        A.   That is right.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  September '93.
    30
    31   MS. STEEL:  On page 33 there are long-term proposals and it is
    32        headed, "This is a summary of the long-term proposals
    33        derived from the expert committees".
    34        A.   Yes.
    35
    36   Q.   Number 5 is, "Fat intake should be on average 30 per cent
    37        of the total energy intake".  Number 16, "Saturated fatty
    38        acid intake should be on average ten per cent of total
    39        energy intake".  Then number 9, "Average sucrose intake
    40        should be reduced to 20 kilogrammes per head per year"--
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Which was the second one?  I have got 5?
    43
    44   MS. STEEL:   5, 6, is the saturated fatty acid intake.
    45
    46        "In calculating the sucrose content of snacks as distinct
    47        from total sucrose in the diet a lower value of ten should
    48        be taken.  10, Fibre intake should increase on average to
    49        30 grammes from 20 grammes per head per day.  The increase
    50        to come mainly from the increased consumption of wholegrain
    51        cereals.  An increase in vegetable and fruit consumption
    52        should also be advocated.  11, it would be desirable if 
    53        salt intake on average fell by 3 grammes per head per day.
    54        12, protein intake should not be altered but a greater
    55        proportion of vegetable protein developing from the other
    56        recommendations is appropriate."
    57
    58             Those were the recommendations throughout the 1980's
    59        were they, or when were they taken over by some other
    60        recommendation?
