1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: But they sometimes worked part-time.
2
3 MR. MORRIS: Yes, but in general it looks like they are
4 full-timers. They might have holiday, we do not know.
5
6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is what it looks like.
7
8 MR. MORRIS: Of those that are full-timers, which is 10 out of
9 14 approximately -- sorry, let me have a think.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you want to take advantage of the few
12 minutes extra I offered you over the midday adjournment,
13 because if you do I suggest we break off now and come back
14 at two o'clock.
15
16 MR. MORRIS: It is just that I wanted to get a couple of figures
17 out of the way while it is in my mind.
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: OK.
20
21 MR. MORRIS: It is just that I have calculated that there were
22 27 full-time fortnights, that is, a fortnight over 70
23 hours; and of those 27, nine were over 96 hours, a third of
24 all the full-time fortnights were over 96 hours. So
25 I could ask you whether you accept that, but it is just
26 that anyone could do the calculations.
27
28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Would it surprise you if that were so, about a
29 third?
30 A. About a third, my Lord, over -- sorry?
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: 96 hours per fortnight.
33
34 MR. MORRIS: Of the full-time.
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Working, therefore, it might be suggested, in
37 the high 40's of hours per week.
38 A. It would not be normal.
39
40 MR. MORRIS: Maybe it is a good time to break.
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: All right. We will come back at five past
43 two.
