7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us have a five minute break there. Five
8 past 12.

11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Morris, I have assumed that Mr. Logan's
13 statement was disclosed with the bulk of your other
14 statement in the summer of 1993. Is that right?
15
16 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, all we got then was the little letter,
17 and then we found the industrial tribunal file. The long
18 handwritten statement was served on 10th July 1995, which

46 Lordship is interested in the general question what happens

49 MR. MORRIS: I think there was one that was disclosed regarding
50 the One Every Mile.
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Apart from that, though?
53
54 MR. RAMPTON: We have the notes of the rap session on
55 16th June 1987 at Putney.
56
57 MR. MORRIS: That was the One Every Mile.
58
59 MR. RAMPTON: Apart from that, no. I do know -- I think I know
