     3   MR. RAMPTON:   My Lord, may I call Mr. Claire?
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.
     6
     7                        ALLAN CLAIRE, called
     8                       Examined by MR. RAMPTON
     9
    10   MR. RAMPTON:  Now, Mr. Claire, are your full names Allan Claire?
    11        A.  That is right.
    12
    13   Q.   Allan with two l's?
    14        A.  That is right.
    15
    16   Q.   Have that one just for the moment; you will need it.  So
    17        put it by.  You need the one with the yellow label.  Is
    18        that called; publication and has a Roman II on it?
    19        A.   That is right.
    20
    21   Q.   If you will turn to tab 5, please.  Has it got your name at
    22        the top?
    23        A.  Yes, it has.
    24
    25   Q.   If you turn over to the last page, which is page 4. There
    26        is signature and date, 24th May, 1993. Is that your
    27        signature?
    28        A.   Yes, it is.
    29
    30   Q.   Is this a statement you made for the purposes of these
    31        proceedings?
    32        A.  Yes, it is.
    33
    34   Q.   Have you looked at it recently?
    35        A.   Yes, I have.
    36
    37   Q.   Are its contents true?
    38        A.   Yes.
    39
    40   Q.   I am going to ask you a question about your memory in a
    41        moment, but I just want to go through the various
    42        statements.  You have made four in all, I think.  Behind
    43        that statement, the very next document should be a short
    44        one-sided piece of paper headed: "Comments on..."
    45        A.  Sorry?  Comments?
    46
    47   Q.   It looks like I am the only person --
    48        A.  I've got exhibits but not comments.  5B?
    49
    50   Q.   No, forget it.  It is all right. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The next one I have is -- I have put 5B on it 
    53        now.  I have previously called it a 'supplementary
    54        statement' and it is dated 19th June, 1995.
    55
    56   MR. RAMPTON:  No, it is my mistake.  I was looking at something
    57        which was never served so it does not matter.  The next
    58        one, Mr. Claire -- yes, as his Lordship says, three pages,
    59        96, 95 on the end?
    60        A.  Yes, sir.
