1 Q. Still on page 3.
2 A. OK.
3
4 Q. About the Hackney and East Ham meetings?
5 A. Yes.
6
7 Q. It says: "These were not formal rap sessions but were
8 informal meetings to which all crew were invited". Did you
9 say how the crew were invited to these meetings?
10 A. Oh, I left that to the local store management.
11
12 Q. So that was not anything to do with you?
13 A. No.
14
15 Q. So do you actually know whether all crew were invited?
16 A. No.
17
18 Q. In case this does come up again, in your fifth affidavit of

20 A. Can you tell me which?

41 quite sure what point Mr. Rampton is making.
42
43 MR. RAMPTON: There was a good deal of cross-examination about
44 why that error occurred in the statement. In fact, that
45 error has been acknowledged as long ago as December 1994.
46
47 MS. STEEL: That still does not stop us from asking why it

50 MR. MORRIS: It is not acknowledged it is an error.
