         MS. STEEL:   Do you think we could have a few minutes to sort
     2        things out?
 
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I will rise for five minutes.  Just
              think about whether there is anything else you must put.
     4        You have put a lot; you have covered a lot of ground.  We
              will have a five minute break and see if there is anything
     5        else which you really do have to put and what it is, if it
              is there at all.
     6
         MS. STEEL:  OK.
     7                            (Short Adjournment)
 
     8   MS. STEEL:   I just want to ask about another paper you have
              written.
     9
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let me have a copy. (Handed).
    10
         MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I say nothing about the procedure at the
    11        moment.  As your Lordship may guess, there are certain
              things passing through my mind that I would say, but
    12        I have taken your Lordship's indication.  What I do ask
              for the future is this, that when these documents are
    13        pulled out of a hat in the course of any part of the
              proceedings -- if indeed they ever are again, which I
    14        would hope to prevent -- I wonder if the defendants would
              not mind providing sufficient copies for us, so that this
    15        can be avoided:  When I get the document, naturally
              enough, I keep to myself, I mark it and so on and so
    16        forth.
 
    17   MS. STEEL:   I have another one.  (Handed to learned counsel)
 
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  That is a general stricture, if I might put it
              like that, because there have been a number of documents
    19        of which there has only been sufficient to me; Mrs.
              Brinley-Codd has to try to ensure that all the files are
    20        in order.  It is very difficult if she does not get a
              copy.
    21
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    22
         MS. STEEL:   I just want to reiterate some of the points that
    23        you have made in here.  The very first comment:  "Diet is
              the primary factor in the development of most of" ------
    24
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us have it.  This is Healthy Eating:
    25        The Food Issue of the 1990s.
  
    26   MS. STEEL:   By Mr. Wheelock published in the British Food 
              Journal, volume 94, No.2, 1992. 
    27
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    28
         MISS STEEL:  The very first line is: "Diet is the primary
    29        factor in the development of most of the degenerative
              diseases in many industrialised countries."  Do you
    30        broadly agree with all these points?
              A.  Yes.
