Day 269 - 25 Jun 96 - Page 92


     
     1        think I described it as a threefold change during the
     2        period of time in question.
     3
     4        So I think that could have made a major contribution
     5        according to the scientific evidence to the reduction to
     6        mortality at the end of the day and I just feel that having
     7        reviewed the evidence for this court, because I did not
     8        really think about it before that; this occasion, that it
     9        would be, would have been interesting had some of the other
    10        aspects of the industry responded in the same way that
    11        Unilever had done because I think we might have seen a
    12        greater impact on the reduction in mortality if they had
    13        done so.
    14
    15   Q.   No further questions.  Thank you very much.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, thank you.  Thank you Professor
    18        Crawford.
    19        A.   My Lord, I do not know if you want this paper.  You
    20        probably have enough papers.  This is saturated fats and
    21        non-smoking women on breast cancer and lung cancer.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not want any more paper unless either
    24        party puts it in front of me with the agreement of the
    25        other.  So hold on to it.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Would you like to leave the witness box?
    28        Leave everything there except what is your own to take
    29        away, Professor Crawford, please.
    30
    31                           (Witness withdrew)
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is there anybody that can be usefully called
    34        tomorrow bearing in mind the decision I made about
    35        publication witnesses.
    36
    37   MR. RAMPTON:  About publication witnesses?
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.
    40
    41   MR. RAMPTON:  I have got nobody left.
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.
    44
    45   MR. MORRIS:  We have not got anybody for tomorrow, No.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   I think we are just left in the position we
    48        cannot sit tomorrow and we cannot sit on Thursday.  But
    49        whatever happens on Thursday, you have clearly got your own
    50        evidence to think about and your publication witnesses to
    51        think about, and the only other person I am aware of who is
    52        left apart from witnesses in those categories is Mr. Brett
    53        who is fixed for Monday.  So what I do want you to do is,
    54        assuming that the Appeal is disposed of on Thursday, is
    55        turn up on Thursday with -- on Friday rather -- with
    56        witnesses to fill the day.  Whether it is Mrs. Tiller.
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:  Yes.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  And I suggest another.  Will Mrs. Tiller last
