     1        feature here in his final paragraph, that you cannot just
     2        work on a mathematical calculation, it is much more
     3        complex.
     4
     5   Q.   Then we come to your specific figures.  You have calculated
     6        it on the basis of the original hectare -----
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Really, going from the penultimate paragraph,
     9        having made the point on the last paragraph, logically one
    10        goes next to that line on page 1 which starts "407.7
    11        hectares" because that is the figure with which the
    12        penultimate paragraph on page 3 ends.
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  So, the 1.57 square miles produces the 1,000
    15        tonnes of pulpwood and then there will be some 15 per cent
    16        amenities or space, river, or whatever, pathways, on top of
    17        that?
    18        A.  Mmm.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can we pause there?
    21
    22   MR. MORRIS:  Sorry, when you say "Mmm", do you mean "yes"?
    23        A.  Yes.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Again might I suggest that it should be 1,000
    26        tonnes of carton board?
    27        A.  Yes.
    28
    29   Q.   Because that is what the 1,000 tonnes was?
    30        A.  Yes.
    31
    32   Q.   In the next line 13,949 tonnes, it should again be carton
    33        board, because that picks up the figure at the top of page
    34        6 of your original statement which is the consumption of
    35        packaging, not pulpwood, but consumption of packaging,
    36        excluding recycled material?
    37        A.  You are absolutely correct, my Lord.  I followed the
    38        mistake Mr. Thompson made and I have repeated it here.  It
    39        should be "carton board".
    40
    41   Q.   I do not think it matters as long as we are aware of what
    42        it should be.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  Are you absolutely sure that is exactly what you
    45        mean, pulpwood is carton board in those two points that
    46        Mr. Justice Bell made?
    47        A.  Yes, Mr. Morris.  Taking the original statement of
    48        Mr. Donald Thompson ---
    49
    50   Q.   A Freudian slip? 
    51        A.  -- and there he makes it very clear that he speaks of 
    52        1,000 tonnes of carton board. 
    53
    54   Q.   So this 13,949 tonnes of packaging, which is on top of
    55        page 6 of your statement, that McDonald's have told you
    56        they use, yes?
    57        A.  That was the starting figure from which I have been
    58        asked to work.
    59
    60   Q.   Yes, excluding recycled material?
