     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think 8 probably the -----
     2
     3   MR. RAMPTON:  Mr. Bishop, 8 should be a four page statement
     4        signed on the fourth page by somebody; is that you?
     5        A.  It is.
     6
     7   Q.   On 18th May, 1993?
     8        A.  That is correct.
     9
    10   Q.   Right.  Can you turn to 8B and C which, I am told, go
    11        together?
    12        A.  Yes.
    13
    14   Q.   B is four pages, or just over three.  It is another
    15        statement, again signed by you on 20th May, 1995?
    16        A.  That is correct.
    17
    18   Q.   Then a short one just over the page, same date.  Is there a
    19        short statement about this case?
    20        A.  There is.
    21
    22   Q.   Then, finally, 8C, is it?
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, that would be D.  The support statement
    25        is C.
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  D, which is a longer one.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The second supplementary.
    30
    31   MR. RAMPTON:  The second supplementary, six pages, again with a
    32        signature at the bottom dated 14th May, 1996?
    33        A.  That is the witness statement, yes.
    34
    35   Q.   That is where the witness statement of Brian Bishop
    36        started?
    37        A.  Yes.
    38
    39   Q.   Is that right?
    40        A.  That is correct.
    41
    42   Q.   Are those all statements that you have made for the purpose
    43        of these proceedings?
    44        A.  They are.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you want to, just as a matter of
    47        form-----
    48
    49   MR. RAMPTON:  So far as you can say now at this distance of
    50        time, are the contents of those statements true? 
    51        A.  They are. 
    52 
    53   Q.   One question I would like to ask you:  In so far as they
    54        contain statements of fact about what took place in 1990,
    55        how far are these statements done from pure memory and how
    56        far from reliance on notes and contemporaneous matters of
    57        that kind?
    58        A.  The statements were made as a result of statements made
    59        at the time that the meetings took place.
