     1        making any recommendations about avoiding cancer risk.  You
     2        did refer to this in your statement, but we did not look at
     3        it but I think in fairness to you, seeing as you have been
     4        attacked on this point or asked about this point.  If you
     5        want to get out -- well, I will tell you what.  I can pass
     6        this one up because I have got a better copy of it.  It is
     7        in tab 59 of the defendant's list of documents?
     8        A.   This one or is it in this?
     9
    10   Q.   It is okay.  I will pass up the original.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is it in the first volume?
    13
    14   MS. STEEL:  Bundle two of the first list of documents.
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  And the divider again?
    17
    18   MS. STEEL:  59.  Thank you.   (Same handed). This is referred to
    19        at the bottom of the second page of your statement?
    20        A.   Yes.
    21
    22   Q.   The Cancer Education Coordinating Group of the United
    23        Kingdom; what is there relationship in terms of the United
    24        Kingdom Government or the NHS or anything like that?
    25        A.   In terms of cancer and diet do you mean?  Is that what
    26        you are referring to?
    27
    28   Q.   Well, I mean is this the type of literature that you would
    29        be giving out in your?
    30        A.   The type of literature?
    31
    32   Q.   In your department?
    33        A.   Yes.  I did, in fact, bring with me quite a few
    34        leaflets from our department which I thought might be
    35        interesting to people.  Yes.  This is the sort of
    36        sentence.  I mean, when you are giving health promoting
    37        literature all the scientific evidence is all, you know,
    38        made into language that ordinary people would understand.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you really just asking whether this is
    41        handed out in National Health Service outlets, for
    42        instance?
    43        A.  Yes.
    44
    45   Q.   As it happened--
    46        A.   We would have about a dozen leaflets that would be
    47        very similar to this in terms of cancer.  I mean, if you
    48        look at, I will just describe the number of leaflets there
    49        are.  Probably look at all those shelves over there, there
    50        would probably be, you know, that many different types of
    51        leaflet and we look at them and we decide whether they are
    52        from a reputable organization and yes that is exactly the 
    53        sort of leaflet that we would issue to people giving advice
    54        to the public.
    55
    56   Q.   Right.  I cannot -- sorry.  There is also another leaflet
    57        that the witness brought down with her.  I recognize it.  I
    58        cannot remember whether it has been disclosed before.  It
    59        is basically on similar lines but--
