Day 276 - 09 Jul 96 - Page 47
1 Because there were a number of meetings where there
2 was hardly anybody there and some occasions when, as we see
3 now, the private investigators were making up half of the
4 people present.

6 Q. Do you think that the fact that I think it was three of the
7 agents who were presently in the group when the
8 practicalities of the fayre were being discussed, the
9 London 1990 fayre, had any effect on whether that fayre
10 took place or not?
11 A. Well, they were just part of the organisation and,
12 obviously, without the organisation the fayre does not take
13 place.
14
15 Q. So what was the feeling of people round the group we have
16 seen from the notes, I mean?
17 A. As I recollect it there was not enough, there weren't
18 enough people to do all the things that needed to be done
19 for the fayre and yes, it is quite possible that without
20 the infiltrators volunteering to take on particular tasks,
21 the people who were involved with running the fayre might
22 have decided that they could not manage it all on their
23 own.
24
25 Q. You talked about going into McDonald's stores to check if
26 the leaflet which they produced attacking, effectively
27 attacking us, was being displayed. Did you ever check,
28 regularly check to see if nutritional information leaflets
29 were being regularly displayed? And, if so, can you give
30 us an account of what you found?
31 A. Yes. Virtually every time I pass a McDonald's actually
32 I try and go in to see what leaflets are available. And,
33 in my experience, quite frequently there are none of the
34 nutritional information leaflets or of the -- well, there
35 is two leaflets. They have both got green letters covers.
36 One of them has got a blue band across it and one of them
37 has got a black band across it.
38
39 I think the black band one is the one that has got the
40 ingredient information and the nutritional, a big
41 nutritional chart of the nutritional break down of the
42 food. The blue one I think is more of a kind of blurb
43 about how great they think their food is, which does have
44 some nutritional information on the back, I think. Quite
45 often I have been in there and there have not been one or
46 other of the two leaflets, and sometimes there has not been
47 either of them.
48
49 Q. If you give a rough figure, how many times have you done
50 that exercise over the last whenever, five years or
51 whatever? How many times a month or how many times a year
52 might you have done that exercise?
53 A. I don't think I could say, but a considerable number of
54 times.
55
56 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Unless there is something you must ask
57 tonight, Mr. Morris, is there any particular matter you
58 must ask about tonight?
59
60 MR. MORRIS: No, that is fine.
