Day 133 - 12 Jun 95 - Page 61

2 MS. STEEL: Yes, sorry, the tables, what year those figures are
3 for and where they are from.
4
5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you think you would be able to do that?
6
7 THE WITNESS: Yes, I believe so.
8
9 MS. STEEL: Also I suppose whether the figures on the final page
10 are from the same -- do we know who the Catering Review
11 Group is?
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The final page G, if you can find out again
14 what the survey period was. Do you understand?
15
16 THE WITNESS: Yes.
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Was there anything specifically apart from
19 that you wanted to know?
20
21 MR. MORRIS: There was something when I was looking at those
22 figures I was confused about in terms of document D which
23 was the ----
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Is there anything more on G2 first of all?
26
27 MR. MORRIS: As far as I know, no.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do not forget if you think the figure on the
30 face of the document helps or supports your argument, there
31 is absolutely no point in digging any deeper on it.
32
33 MR. MORRIS: Yes, I understand that.
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Document D?
36
37 MR. MORRIS: It is just on document D, it may be a very simple
38 matter, the figure given at the bottom in the total column
39 on the right-hand side is 23,376. I think the employee
40 figures were greater than that for that year which means
41 that either not all the people are known what their reasons
42 for leaving are, or it is only for three-quarters of 1993.
43 It might be helpful if that is found out.
44
45 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If you can find anything more about where the
46 figures came from ----
47
48 THE WITNESS: I will investigate.
49
50 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If I have done my sums correctly, the total
51 of the figures for London and South Midlands and the North
52 is in fact about 600 more than 23,376. That may be neither
53 here nor there, but in fact I am prepared to affirm it is
54 not here nor there because we are not going into the
55 minutiae like that. In case on further questioning
56 tomorrow something crops up that is either here or there,
57 if you can find out what Mr. Morris has just asked.
58
59 THE WITNESS: Yes, I will investigate that.
