         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Answer that question -- I thought we had
     2        been through it yesterday -- answer this question.
              A.  It is not as comfortable as a environment/index.html">litter or straw or some
     3        other bedding material.
 
     4   MR. MORRIS:  We have not really time to go into detail into
              anything, so we had best stop there.
     5
                            Re-examined by MR. RAMPTON.
     6
         Q.   Dr. Gregory, after two days in the witness box you will be
     7        relieved to hear I have but a few questions.  One question
              about pigs, do you have that coloured brochure?
     8        A.  No, I do not.  It may be here.
 
     9   Q.   Have a look at mine. (Handed)  Turn to that page, please,
              which I think is the fourth; there is a big picture in the
    10        middle of pigs on some straw.  Look at the first of the
              two photographs on the right-hand side, please, which is
    11        subtitled or captioned, "of those(?) finishing unit with a
              cereal crop in the foreground".  If, like me, you need to
    12        take your glasses off to see what it is actually showing,
              please do so.  But if you can look it at carefully, answer
    13        this question, please:  Is that anything like the one you
              saw when you went there?
    14        A.  The answer is no.
 
    15   Q.   It is not?
              A.  No.
    16
         Q.   Can you tell us what the differences are?
    17        A.  I saw an old style building.  It was an old converted
              farm building which was not made of the type of material
    18        shown here.
 
    19   Q.   Do you have any comment to offer at that distance (because
              it is quite a long way away) about its construction, if
    20        not, say not?
              A.  It is similar in construction to many pig units.
    21
         Q.   I do not know, but can you tell from looking at it whether
    22        it is totally enclosed or not?  There is a gap between the
              roof, the next part of the building.  If you do not know,
    23        it does not matter, because I can ask Mr. Bowes.
              A.  I should ask Mr. Bowes.
    24
         Q.   Thank you very much.  The question Mr. Morris was asking a
    25        moment ago which you answered in general terms.  I want to
              remind you simply of something you might have forgotten 
    26        that you said to me when I was asking you questions on 
              Tuesday; page 58 of Tuesday's transcript -- you have not 
    27        got this but I will read it out -- you were telling us
              about a new electrical stunning method for cattle, do you
    28        remember?
              A.  Yes.
    29
         Q.   You told us you told Midland Meat Packers about it?
    30        A.  Yes.
