     3   MS. STEEL:  Yes, not all of them are, yes.

     5        "The fact sheet complained of was running low by 1989 and
     6        went out of stock in 1990 and was not reprinted as
     7        Mr. Gravett was preparing to update it."
     8
     9        You presumably would not know about the last part because
    10        you were not involved in the group then, but do you confirm
    11        that?
    12        A.  Yes.
    13
    14   Q.   No. 3 does not concern you.
    15
    16        "After the 1989 fayre the anti-McDonald's campaign was
    17        winding down as people at meetings wished to take up other
    18        issues instead.  Both defence witnesses - which is you and
    19        Mr. Gravett - and others, including Michelle Hooker, were
    20        involved in anti-McDonald's activities through Hackney and
    21        Islington Animal Rights, reporting on these at London
    22        Greenpeace meetings.  Also Veggies of Nottingham and others
    23        were the ones distributing various versions of
    24        anti-McDonald's leaflets/fact sheets in bulk rather than
    25        people at London Greenpeace."
    26        A.  Yes, that is correct.
    27
    28   Q.  "Both defence witnesses..." -- sorry, I do not think you
    29        were at the meeting of 25th January so I do not know
    30        whether you can comment on that.
    31
    32        "Both defence witnesses will say that Dave Morris was
    33        effectively not involved with London Greenpeace activities
    34        throughout the period October 1989 to the service of writs
    35        in September 1990, only occasionally dropping in to show
    36        his face and express opinions.  He attended the 1989 and
    37        1990 fayres to help out but was not involved in the
    38        organisation and planning for the events.  He was not
    39        involved in any anti-McDonald's activities in this period.
    40        In fact, it was his opinion that people around the group
    41        should move on to other issues."
    42        A.  Yes.
    43
    44   Q.  "Paul Gravett generally dealt with letters relating to
    45        McDonald's.  Jane Laporte generally kept an eye on the
    46        answering of general enquiries.  Both will say that
    47        Mr. Morris and Ms. Steel barely answered a single letter
    48        during this whole period and would certainly not have dealt
    49        with McDonald's inquiries."
    50        A.  Yes.
    51
    52   Q.  "Jane Laporte will say that at the meeting she attended on
    53        1st March 1990, Mr. Morris did not say that he had been
    54        strongly involved in the anti-McDonald's campaign and had
    55        organised the anti-McDonald's fayre.  If he had said such a
    56        thing, she would recollect it because she would know it was
    57        not true."
    58        A.  Yes, that is right.
    59
    60   Q.  "Both defence witnesses will say that Mr. Pocklington,
