     2   MR. MORRIS:  So, in fact, it is materially different.  I do not
     3        know which one Mr. Atkinson averred to this morning.
     4
     5   MR. RAMPTON:  The one I have, my Lord, the one Mr. Morris has.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  That is how mine reads.  Can someone
     8        remind me, at the end of today I would like to hand mine
     9        down and I would like Mr. Atkinson to check that it is the
    10        one he read because, like Ms. Steel, I did not follow word
    11        for word.  I made odd notes in my notebook as Mr. Atkinson
    12        was reading and, therefore, I did not follow it word for
    13        word.
    14
    15   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I am allowed to burrow around here, then
    16        I will do it now.
    17
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are they both signed by Mr. Atkinson with the
    19        date 5th July 1995?
    20
    21   MS. STEEL:   Actually, they are both unsigned.
    22
    23   MR. RAMPTON:  Mine is unsigned too.
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  The one we are working on is the unsigned one
    26        because when we said the signed one, the implication was it
    27        was the same as the unsigned one, so we had different
    28        statements before they were finally signed, somehow.
    29
    30   MR. RAMPTON:  There is no doubt, my Lord, that the one
    31        Mr. Atkinson, Timothy, read this morning is the one
    32        Mr. Atkinson, James, has signed on 5th July, which is the
    33        one Mr. Morris has.  It does not appear to be the one that
    34        Ms. Steel has.  I say that because I have -----
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is it different to the unsigned copy?
    37
    38   MR. RAMPTON:  No, my Lord, because I have the unsigned one which
    39        is ---
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yours is the same.
    42
    43   MR. RAMPTON:  -- identical.  Mr. Atkinson T's is unsigned as
    44        well.  My Lord, I do not know whether your Lordship would
    45        like this now, or whether it is best Ms. Steel has this
    46        now, so she has what Mr. Morris has got now, or whether
    47        your Lordship would say that it might be advisable to have
    48        five minutes or so with Ms. Steel having this one, so that
    49        Mr. Morris and she can run through it to see if there are
    50        any other inconsistencies of that kind because, if there 
    51        are not, then it is a small matter and it does not matter. 
    52 
    53   MR. MORRIS:  I would prefer it if the Plaintiffs could do that
    54        task and we could check.
    55
    56   MR. RAMPTON:  Then I have to have the one that Ms. Steel has and
    57        I do not want it, thank you very much.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest is this, if my recollection of
    60        the corridor outside is correct, it has a number of
