     1   MS. STEEL:  Right.  I have actually got a spare copy.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can you hand one to the witness?
     4
     5   MS. STEEL:  Yes.  (Same handed)  We have dealt with 1-3.  I
     6        think 4 was more or less dealt with, but just the end part
     7        of it.

     9        "Veggies of Nottingham and others were the ones
    10        distributing various versions of anti-McDonald's leaflet/
    11        fact sheets in bulk rather than people at London
    12        Greenpeace."
    13
    14        Is that true?
    15        A.   Yes, that is.
    16
    17   Q.   Right.  And the meeting of 25th January, which was about
    18        the future of the London Greenpeace group, was not
    19        advertised as a public meeting?
    20        A.  That is true, yes.
    21
    22   Q.   Right.  I think you have dealt with number 6 already.  I am
    23        not sure whether or not we have dealt with number 7 with
    24        you.  We have heard from various of the --
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   I think you have in effect, but you can read
    27        it, if you want.
    28
    29   MS. STEEL:  "Paul Gravett generally dealt with letters relating
    30        to McDonald's".
    31        A.   Yes.  Specific enquiries on McDonald's, yes.
    32
    33   Q.   Right.  And that Jane answered general or kept an eye on
    34        general enquiries and that myself and Mr. Morris barely
    35        answered a single letter during the period, it says this is
    36        the whole period, I think between October 1989 and 1990 it
    37        was referring to at that time?
    38        A.  Yes.
    39
    40   Q.   "And would certainly not have dealt with McDonald's
    41        enquiries".  Is that true?
    42        A.  That is true, yes.
    43
    44   Q.   What was your view, just going on to number 9, what was
    45        your view about Mr. Pocklington, Mr. Bishop, Mr. Claire and
    46        Michelle Hooker?  Do you agree with what is written there?
    47        A.   That they were regulars?  Yes, certainly, regular
    48        attenders at meetings.
    49
    50   Q.   Did they ever speak to you about the anti-McDonald's
    51        campaign?
    52        A.   Yes, I can remember them on occasion asking
    53        questions.  In fact, I remember Mr. Pocklington, or Anthony
    54        as we knew him, I think it must have been one of the first
    55        meetings he ever came to, saying that he was opposed to the
    56        fast food industry but he was not himself a vegetarian.
    57        That stuck in my mind because it seemed a bit strange to
    58        me, but I thought well, you know, if he remains us with
    59        long enough hopefully he will become a vegetarian.
