2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Morris is quite correct to say as it is
3 read it does not follow, but it would appear to be a
4 mistake.
5
6 MR. MORRIS: It would be tons, T-O-N-S, as well, would it not
7 rather, than N-N-E-S?
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Why?
10 A. No.
11
12 MR. MORRIS: I thought the 1,000 tonnes of carton board
13 production was T-O-N-S.
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, T-O-N-N-E-S, Mr. Mallinson said.
16 A. Again, Mr. Morris, in my original statement I used
17 T-O-N-N-E-S.
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: There was a misprint there as well?
20 A. There was later on, my Lord.
21
22 MR. MORRIS: Where was the correction needed in the original
23 statement then?
24 A. Page 4 of my original statement at the bottom, it says:
25 "Forest felling and clear felling for pulpwood supplied
26 for packaging", there at the first line, "for every
27 saleable 1,000 tonnes".
28
29 Q. That is correct, is it not?
30 A. That is correct there and is consistent with the new
31 report.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The mistake was at the top of page 6?
34 A. Correct.
35
36 MR. MORRIS: Sorry, on page 6, is it? Oh, yes, OK.
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am not stopping, you, Mr. Morris, from
39 asking any further questions about page 3, but from the end
40 of the penultimate paragraph on page 3 we go back to page 1
41 and your calculations?
42 A. Yes.
43
44 Q. But the point of the last paragraph is that, in fact, all
45 this forest is required for saw wood consumption which is
46 what makes the money?
47 A. Correct.
48
49 Q. And since you have got to grow the trees for saw wood
50 production are you getting what you need for pulp out of
51 the forest by the way. Is that the point which is made
52 there?
53 A. Generally, yes. I think his point is more by
54 explanation than one starts on the whole of the calculation
55 and the value of the forest on the basis of its most
56 valuable output and that is sawn wood. I do not think it
57 is particularly relevant, that paragraph, other than a
58 natural reaction on his part to cover the whole scene and
59 not just the one part.
