3 Q. Big Mac and the hot cups you have mentioned?
4 A. Yes.
5
6 Q. So that is quite a lot of your items that are served in

9
10 MR. RAMPTON: I wonder if Ms. Steel would make it clear, when
11 she says "packaging", whether she means the packaging of
12 the in-store items or she is talking about the packaging
13 used as a whole.
14
15 MS. STEEL: What I am getting at is that you have put the only
16 packaging in your statement, and, if you read that, someone
17 might think that you were only referring to, like, a small
18 proportion of your packaging?
19 A. Well, I am not -----
20
21 Q. That there is not much of it?
22 A. I have not said that. The reason it says "only", if
23 you read on, "the only packaging used by McDonald's in
24 which a blowing agent is used".
25
26 Q. Right. So, are you saying that some of those products that
27 are foam packaging do not have a blowing agent in them?
28 A. No.
29
30 Q. All those products that I listed to you?
31 A. Would have a blowing agent.
32
33 Q. Would have a blowing agent?
34 A. Yes.
35
36 Q. Right. Do you have much communication between your
37 department and America?
38 A. Which department?
39
40 Q. The Purchasing Department?
41 A. A reasonable amount. I would not say much, but a
42 reasonable amount.
43
44 Q. You see, you have said that there was no concern about the
45 environmental impact of CFCs at the time you switched to
46 CFCs in 1986.
47 A. This is in 19?
48
49 Q. In 1986, yes, sorry, in paragraph 19, yes.
50 A. Your question is there was no concern?
51
52 Q. Yes.
53 A. That is not what it says.
54
55 Q. "At [this] time there was no concern about the
56 environmental impact of CFCs"?
57 A. Oh, I see, down further, right, yes.
58
59 Q. Yes. Are you saying, yes, there was no concern?
60 A. Yes, that statement was correct at that time.
