     3   Q.   Are you saying there is nothing similar to that document,
     4        if it be the 1988 document, as the 1989 fayre, page 102?
     5        A.   Well, this was the equivalent document for 1989 for
     6        the fayre.  This was the programme and I think we had about
     7        2,000 copies of it printed and taken.

     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Where does it actually start?  Does it start
    10        on 102 or 104?
    11        A.   104.
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:   The question I am interested in, Mr. Gravett - my
    14        Lord, this will be my last question - is whether in 1989
    15        there was not a similar document to what you see at page
    16        102 available for members of the public to read so they
    17        could go and pick up that anti-McDonald's fact sheet?
    18        A.   The answer to that, to the best of my knowledge, is
    19        no.  I mean, if there was, we would have put it in the
    20        programme and the reason there was nothing in the programme
    21        saying go and get copy of the fact sheet from the stall in
    22        the foyer was because, as far as I am aware, there were not
    23        copies of the fact sheet on the stall in the foyer,
    24        certainly not piles of them, because there were a few left
    25        by then.
    26
    27   Q.   But any that would have been left would have been taken
    28        along, would they not?
    29        A.   No, they would have been kept in the office to answer
    30        specific McDonald's enquiries and I saw to that, that that
    31        happened.
    32
    33   Q.   Your recollection, at least, and indeed I would say your
    34        opinion is that there were none of the anti-McDonald's fact
    35        sheets available for 1989 fayre; is that right?
    36        A.  Well, what I am saying is -- I am not saying that there
    37        was not.  I obviously cannot be accountable for everything
    38        that was at the fayre.  I did not take any.  I did not see
    39        anyone else in London Greenpeace take any.  It is possible
    40        that someone might have brought some along off their own
    41        back, but, you know, it was not a group decision.
    42
    43   Q.   Despite the fact that you distributed them to members of
    44        the press in August of that year?
    45        A.   Yes.
    46
    47   MR. RAMPTON:  Thank you, my Lord, for that.
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will have our five-minute break.

    51                          (Short adjournment)
    52
    53   MR. RAMPTON:   Now, Mr. Gravett, could you turn back now please
    54        to tab, or maybe it is forwards, I do not know, to tab 47
    55        in this pink volume 1A?
    56        A.   Yes.
    57
    58   Q.   Headed "Big Mac Attack" and this is 1989.  This is the
    59        publicity for the 16th October protest day, is it not?
    60        A.   Yes.  This would have been put --
