     1        A.  I may well have been copied on such a memo.
     2
     3   Q.   As market manager, you would as well, would you?
     4        A.  I would hope so; certainly been copied in on it, yes.
     5
     6   Q.   Do you recall any such memo?
     7        A.  Specifically with hustle?  No, I do not recall.
     8
     9   MR. MORRIS:  Were you aware of the Health and Safety Executive's
    10        Accident Prevention and Advisory Unit investigation into
    11        safety at McDonald's, when it was happening at the time?
    12        A.  If it is the same one where I was interviewed ---
    13
    14   Q.   Very likely.
    15        A.  -- by somebody, if the two are the same, then I would
    16        say I would recollect it, but you would have to give me a
    17        date on that to give me some more information.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Who was it who interviewed you; what was his
    20        or her position?
    21        A.  I believe they were on a -- they were from Liverpool
    22        University, or something.  They may well have been on a
    23        secondment to the Health and Safety Executive; and
    24        I believe they talked to a number of people regarding their
    25        perception of health and safety.  That would have been --
    26        sorry.
    27
    28   MR. MORRIS:  This was the same thing we are talking about, where
    29        the Health and Safety Executive produced a report, having
    30        interviewed right up to Paul Preston, looked at all the
    31        procedures and -----
    32        A.  I remember getting interviewed in Cardiff.  So it would
    33        have been, I suppose, when I was a senior supervisor
    34        post-1987, 90 something.  But I was certainly interviewed
    35        and I was aware of a number of people in the hierarchy
    36        being interviewed.  So the two may well be the same.
    37
    38   Q.   I think the interview took place -- I am getting confused
    39        now -- 1991, I think it was.  I have not got a copy in
    40        front of me.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Have you looked at the list at the back?
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  I have not got it in front of me.
    45
    46   MR. ATKINSON:  The report is at tab 55 of volume XIII, pink.
    47        They do not give the names, my Lord; they give the position
    48        of people being interviewed.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I appreciate that. 
    51 
    52   MR. ATKINSON:  It is the last page of that tab. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, page 873.
    55
    56   MR. MORRIS:  (To the witness)  Have you got the last page?
    57        A.  I certainly recognise the name Andrew Foster, and it
    58        seems I was correct -- I remembered Liverpool had somewhere
    59        in there, and it says he was Accident and Prevention
    60        Advisory Unit, Bootle, Merseyside.  I would think it was
