Day 267 - 21 Jun 96 - Page 31


     
     1   Q.   Paul was keen to do this radio interview, was he not?
     2        A.   I do not recall.
     3
     4   Q.   He did not appear to have any fear that he would not have
     5        the facts and figures to back up what he was going to talk
     6        about?
     7        A.  I do not recall.  I am relying on my notes.
     8
     9   Q.   You said that, you go on about having looked through the
    10        last week's minutes book, the last week's minutes, and then
    11        you talk of about ten letters opened tonight, 6 of them
    12        were...?
    13        A.   Requesting.
    14
    15   Q.   "Requesting information about the antiMcDonald's
    16        campaign."  Was that a letter that you opened or?
    17        A.   No.  I do not recall.  It may have been a letter that
    18        was read.
    19
    20   Q.   Then it says: "The meeting itself was rather..." -- and
    21        what does that say?
    22        A.   I do not know.  I cannot recall.
    23
    24   Q.   You cannot read it?
    25        A.   No.
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  Could I help?  I have the original.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  Sorry, I have got them here.  What is the
    30        question?
    31
    32   MS. STEEL:  I cannot read it.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Fruitful?
    35        A.   Possibly.  They were scribbles in the car after.
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  "... with nothing special mentioned about
    38        anti-McDonald's.  The meeting itself was rather" -----
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Why do you not show it to the person who
    41        wrote it?
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, OK.  (Same handed).
    44        A.   It says "fruitful", sir
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Fruitful?
    47        A.   Yes.
    48
    49   MS. STEEL:  It says "fruitful".  Right.  So, "The meeting itself
    50        was rather fruitful with nothing special mentioned about 
    51        antiMcDonald's.  At the start there were six present, at 
    52        the end eight.  I was asked to write the minutes."  If 
    53        there was nothing mentioned about McDonald's, in what way
    54        was the meeting fruitful?
    55        A.   It should read, from looking at it now, "fruitless"
    56        not "fruitful".
    57
    58   Q.   It was not fruitful because you managed to take a copy of
    59        the bank statement and the correspondence on the desk about
    60        Aldgate Press having printed some antiMcDonald's leaflets?
