1 consumers, yes. I understand salad bars are actually
2 available in other countries in McDonald's, but not in
3 this country.

5 Q. As far as promotion is concerned, we have just heard from
6 Mr. Justice Bell about a recent advert, and if the adverts
7 continue to promote mainly the foods that are high in fat,
8 salt and sugar, would that be taking a responsible
9 position?
10 A. Clearly then they should look at their promotional
11 activities to ask if they can increase their
12 responsibility there.
13
14 Q. If I just go to a leaflet, McDonald's leaflet, called
15 "Nutrition A Question of Balance" January 1994, which is
16 in volume VI -- I do not actually know if the Plaintiffs
17 have served it. Is it not in the documents then? We have
18 a document here that we just assumed was part of the
19 recent disclosure in the summer, but we will obviously get
20 copies of it -- the Plaintiffs have copies of it for
21 certain so we should not need to provide it.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do I have a copy of that?
24
25 MR. MORRIS: We will have to get one for yourself later.
26
27 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Carry on.
28
29 MR. RAMPTON: No, my Lord, we do not have it, not at the
30 moment; I have no doubt we can acquire one.
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Hold it up so that I can see.
33
34 MR. MORRIS: I think their previous versions have been
35 available.
36
37 MS. STEEL: This is another version.
38
39 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What date is that?
40
41 MS. STEEL: That one is January 1994 and this one is not
42 dated.
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Anyway, you are reading from January 1994,
45 are you, Mr. Morris?
46
47 MR. MORRIS: Yes. Just briefly, you make some comments about
48 some of the -- this is the booklet that I think is most
49 often found in McDonald's stores.
50
51 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, that is absolutely outrageous. Mr.
52 Morris has no evidence at all. Nobody said a word about
53 it in this court. He must retract and rephrase his
54 question.
55
56 MS. STEEL: If needs be, I can make a statement to say that
57 every store I have been in that has been the main one that
58 has been available and the other ones -----
59
60 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Leave where it has come from.
