2 MR. MORRIS: We will not hold that against you but it does say
3 in that statement you signed, paragraph four, fourth line:
4 "At the meeting Paul Gravett mentioned Aldgate Press
5 printers printed 10,000 McDonald's leaflets by mistake."
6 Whereas in your note it says Organic Press. Do you
7 remember, we had a discussion about that earlier on?
8 A. That is correct, it does.
9
10 Q. So was it that the solicitors told you that you were wrong?
11 A. I cannot recall now.
12
13 Q. Well, who wrote the statement? Was it you or the
14 solicitors?
15 A. I and the solicitors I believe.
16
17 Q. So when I was asking you before whether, in fact, he did
18 said say organic press or whether it was your mistake and
19 you denied it was your mistake; you seem to have recognized
20 it was a mistake by you in your statements?
21 A. No. In my notes it says Organic Press in my notes it
22 says Aldgate Press.
23
24 Q. Well, you have signed the statement. So which one is true?
25 A. I would rely on my original notes made at the time.
26
27 Q. So the statement is incorrect?
28 A. It looks like it is wrong there, yes, on that part.
29
30 Q. Have you got some problem with admitting you made a mistake
31 of recollection at the time you made your notes?
32 A. No. What I made at the time I would rely upon.
33
34 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If you are going to finish by 1 o'clock you
35 know, you really cannot be bothering to going over things
36 like this again. I am sure there must be things to help me
37 on more important issues in the case like that.
38
39 MS. STEEL: We are testing the accuracy of the notes.
40
41 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I know. You have you have done it already
42 and I can draw my own conclusions of the notes that applies
43 to at Aldgate Press. Whether or not the fact that he put
44 Organic Press and whether or not he is prepared now to
45 accept that a mistake of that kind was made by him, I will
46 take into account. Do not take another even two or three
47 minutes on it.
48
49 MR. MORRIS: Right. Okay.
50
51 MS. STEEL: It says about, Mr. Gravett also mentioned in he
52 could get a 20 minute film, this is in a statement, that
53 has been made about McDonald's to show at the next public
54 meeting at Endsleigh Street, did you go to the next public
55 meeting at Endsleigh Street. It would have been the end of
56 March?
57 A. I do not recall. If my notes do not say it, then I
58 was not there.
59
60 Q. You do not remember attending a meeting at Endsleigh Street
