1 MR. MORRIS: Yes.

3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you want to read Mr. Davidson now?
4
5 MS. STEEL: Before we go on, I think that the report referred to
6 at the bottom of Mr. Gallin's -----
7
8 MR. MORRIS: No, it is OK. We are trying to find the report, so
9 we can give it a reference number -- unless we find it. So
10 if we go on to Mr. Davidson for the moment.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He is number 13.
13
14 MR. MORRIS: He is Civil Evidence Act, is he not?
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
17
18 MR. MORRIS: I am not even sure we have got it now.
19
20 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just borrow mine for the purpose of
21 convenience.
22
23 MR. MORRIS: This is the statement of William C. Davidson of
24 301 South 15th Street, Apartment 1105, Philadelphia, USA,
25 June 20th, 1995.
26
27 "To whom it may concern, I was a staff person with the
28 Philadelphia unemployment project in Philadelphia,
29 Pennsylvania, United States, from 1988 to 1990. One of the
30 projects I worked on was a study of wage rates for fast
31 food workers in the Philadelphia inner city and its suburbs
32 (known collectively as the Delaware Valley), including
33 McDonald's.
34
35 "My research was done between August and October 1989.
36 My information was totally based on what managers and
37 owners directly told me that the starting wage rates were
38 in their stores. The result of my research showed a wide
39 disparity between the wages of McDonald's workers in the
40 inner city and those in the suburbs. Sincerely,
41 William C. Davidson."
42
43 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You are hoping to call Mr. Duncan from
44 New Zealand, are you still?
45
46 MR. MORRIS: He was a question mark.
47
48 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Unless you have resolved it -----
49
50 MR. MORRIS: We will leave that for the moment.
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The next is number 16, Mr. Dudley-Boyden.
53
54 MR. MORRIS: Yes, we could certainly read that. We are not
55 intending to call him. Again, I have not got them with me,
56 because it is not in our bundle.
57
58 MR. RAMPTON: I am afraid I have not got it, either.
59
60 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let me just read it, and then I will hand it
