     1   Q.   Why do all these things that are nothing to do with animal
     2        welfare get into the animal welfare policy?
     3        A.  Because it is just a summary of that document.  If you
     4        need to get into the document in detail, then you would
     5        need to discuss and cross-examine on the document itself
     6        which we do not have here.
     7
     8   Q.   This is not an animal welfare policy, is it?  It is a piece
     9        of propaganda for you to put your story about where and how
    10        your meat is supplied, whether or not it is to do with
    11        animal welfare?
    12        A.  Well, I do repeat hat you should look at the animal
    13        welfare document before you comment further, because there
    14        is a lot more detail in there.
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:  What document are you referring to because I am not
    17        sure if it is the one we have or not?
    18        A.  There is an animal welfare beef document that McKey
    19        Foods would have, the hamburger supplier, and also one for
    20        poultry that Sun Valley would have.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think the point which is being made is that
    23        this is McDonald's UK statement of its position.  In fact
    24        the index says: "It and its suppliers position on animal
    25        welfare and husbandry".
    26        A.  The index says what?
    27
    28   Q.   If you look at the front you will see how document one is
    29        described.  What is the purpose of that statement?  Is that
    30        so that members of the public can see it if they ask for it
    31        or what?
    32        A.  Well, you are referring to the letters from suppliers
    33        confirming compliance?
    34
    35   Q.   No.  If you look at tab 1.
    36        A.  Yes.
    37
    38   Q.   It has "Animal Welfare and Husbandry - McDonald's
    39        Position"?
    40        A.  Yes, right.
    41
    42   Q.   Then it has got over the page: "Summary of Supplier
    43        Positions".
    44        A.  Yes.
    45
    46   Q.   It has got "Beef - McKey" and "Chicken - Sun Valley".  What
    47        I am asking at the moment is once printed or word processed
    48        out and photocopied where does it go?
    49        A.  Where does this information go?
    50 
    51   Q.   Yes, where do the sheets of paper go? 
    52        A.  I am not aware it has gone anywhere. 
    53
    54   Q.   It would just go in a drawer then?  Is it there so that a
    55        member of the public can say "What is McDonald's position
    56        on animal welfare and husbandry", they can be shown the
    57        sheet on page 1, for instance, and if need be the remaining
    58        sheets, or is it in store so that without asking people can
    59        pick them up?
    60        A.  If I could ask, because I am really not sure, where
