Day 259 - 10 Jun 96 - Page 88
1 A. Not at the time.
2
3 Q. But you know of him now?
4 A. I know of him now.
5
6 Q. He was at some of the meetings that you attended?
7 A. He was at one, I believe.
8
9 Q. Right.
10 A. I believe my first meeting was his last.
11
12 Q. Were you brought in to replace him?
13 A. It would seem that way, but I was not aware of that at
14 the time.
15
16 Q. You did not get told, after you had reported on him, that
17 he was another inquiry agent?
18 A. I do not think I knew anything about Mr. Pocklington
19 until I finished my involvement with the case.
20
21 MR. MORRIS: Probably the last question. You said that you have
22 used the notes that you did at the time to refresh your
23 memory in making the statement -- used them to make the
24 statement?
25 A. The reports that were submitted from the notes that
26 I made at the time, yes.
27
28 Q. Sorry. The statement is based upon the notes that you made
29 at the time. The notes of the other meetings that you
30 attended, did you also read them while you were preparing
31 the statement?
32 A. No, because I did not keep copies.
33
34 Q. But what I am saying is, was it the solicitors that
35 selectively chose which notes and which meetings were
36 significant?
37 A. I see what you mean.
38
39 Q. Did you have all the records from your time at Kings and
40 then start to make a statement based on those notes?
41 A. The statements were made by the solicitors. I was
42 asked if I agreed with them, which I obviously did, and
43 I signed them.
44
45 Q. So it was the -----
46 A. How they compiled them, I cannot really answer.
47
48 Q. I see. So, the solicitors wrote the statements taken from
49 your notes?
50 A. I would imagine so, yes.
51
52 MS. STEEL: Would they have got information from any other
53 source, to your knowledge?
54 A. I would have no knowledge of that. The statements that
55 I signed were relevant to the work that I had actually
56 carried out myself.
57
58 MR. MORRIS: But the impressions about the way that the group
59 worked, or whatever, that did not apply to a specific week,
60 would have related to all the notes that you had taken?
