Day 261 - 12 Jun 96 - Page 65
1 A. I do, yes. Thank you. 16, I believe?
2
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
4
5 MS. STEEL: Just a couple of things about this. At the bottom
6 of the page, you said:
7
8 "Throughout the course of this speech and, indeed, the
9 whole of the meeting, McDonald's was mentioned only once
10 briefly, and that in a list of campaigns past and present."
11
12 So, certainly, in terms of this meeting, McDonald's was not
13 a feature?
14 A. No; as is written, it was mentioned once briefly.
15
16 Q. I am just confirming that that is correct; yes?
17 A. Yes.
18
19 Q. On the second page, the very last sentence that starts:
20 "I expressed considerable interest in the group, and after
21 some conversation relating to the discussion which had just
22 taken place, I was invited to attend the weekly meeting
23 carried out in their office in Caledonian Road next
24 Thursday, 2nd November. I was invited to arrive early and
25 then I could help them with the answering of some of the
26 mail."

40 expressing considerable interest, but it was certainly
41 afterwards, yes.
42
43 MR. MORRIS: A couple of things about those notes. That
44 conversation you indicate was with me, yes?
45 A. Yes.
46
47 Q. On the bottom of the page before: "At this time I managed
48 to speak to Dave" -- this is the third line up from the
49 bottom of page 2 -- "he informed me that off and on he had
50 been involved with the group for about 10 years." That is
51 your recollection; yes?
52 A. I cannot actually find where you are.
53
54 Q. Sorry, it is page 2; it is the third line up.
55
56 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Page 17 of the bundle.
57 A. Yes. "He informed me that off and on he had been
58 involved with the group for about 10 years" -- yes.
59
60 MR. MORRIS: Right. So, sometimes I was involved with the
