Day 278 - 11 Jul 96 - Page 25
1 lot of them time on them I just want you to look at them.
2 The first document is appendix 3, which should be, I hope,
3 in your case, Mclibel support campaign summary January
4 1994.

6 MR. MORRIS: Sorry, which file are we in now?
7
8 MR. RAMPTON: Mr. Preston, yellow 2, which is in bundle 1, I
9 think.
10
11 MR. MORRIS: I have not got any of those documents in these
12 bundles.
13
14 Q. Do you recognise appendix 1, Miss Steel?
15 A. Did you say 1? I thought you said 3.
16
17 Q. Sorry, I did say 3. Do you recognise appendix 3?
18 A. Yes.
19
20 Q. This would not have gone out without your support or
21 approval, would it?
22 A. It is a long time since I have read it.
23
24 Q. Well, my Lord, may I make a suggestion, that we take 5 or
25 may be even 10 minutes because otherwise we will have to go
26 through them line by line in open court. I asked Miss
27 Steel to read appendices 1 -- sorry, appendices 3 and 4.
28 Appendix 3 contains 3 documents, appendix 4 contains 2
29 documents.
30
31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Right. Well, I will come back at 5 past 12.
32
33 (Short adjournment)
34
35 MR. RAMPTON: Miss Steel, have you had a chance to look at those
36 documents?
37 A. I have scanned through most of them. I have not read
38 them for a long time, but broadly they accord with my
39 views, although I did not write any of them and there are
40 parts of them that I probably would not have put if I had
41 written them, but broadly they do accord with my views.
42
43 Q. Yes, and no doubt in places the author had to have your
44 cooperation in order to be able to write what he did?
45 A. I would expect so.
46
47 Q. Yes. No doubt you saw them before they went out?
48 A. Some of them.
49
50 Q. Yes. You do not disavow of anything that is in -- although
51 you say you might not have written any of them, you do not
52 disclaim or disavow anything that is written in any of
53 those documents I take it?
54 A. I did not have time to read through them very
55 carefully, and it is a long time since I read through them,
56 but I did not notice anything that I would want to disavow.
57
58 Q. You remember that, in fact, the last page of appendix 4--
59 A. The ones at appendix 4 were the ones that I barely got
60 a chance to look at.
