         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Which tab?
     2
         MS. STEEL:   Tab 15.  Was this survey actually the whole of it
     3        completed and finalised?
              A.  As far as I know it was, yes.
     4
         Q.   We have only part of it, but this is a survey of staff at
     5        McDonald's stores.  On page 200 we have a summary of the
              survey.  There is the number of times there that the
     6        employees eat at McDonald's a week.  You see under four to
              six times per week 61 per cent of employees are eating
     7        that often ----
              A.  Yes.
     8
         Q.  ---  at McDonald's.
     9
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Which page are you looking at?
    10
         MS. STEEL:   Page 200.  6 per cent of McDonald's staff are
    11        eating at McDonald's seven times a week or more -- it is
              six plus which means seven or, seven times or more.
    12
         MR. MORRIS:  It must mean seven times or more.
    13
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It would appear to me to mean seven times or
    14        more.  Where do we actually -- is that why you said the
              questions are incomplete because they only go up to -----
    15
         MS. STEEL:   Yes.
    16
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They go up to four or more but different
    17        things.  Anyway, that is apparently the summary of the
              survey.  Though how they can possibly get those figures
    18        from -- I see.  It would be in answer to the second
              question under "Eating Habits".  The first question:
    19        "Eating Habits - How many times a week do you eat at
              McDonald's?"  Yes, thank you.
    20
         MS. STEEL:   On the first page we do not have the breakdown of
    21        how many people eat salads.  For some reason that has not
              been included?
    22        A.  No, it was not.
 
    23   Q.   Are we to presume from that that McDonald's did not think
              it was important?
    24        A.  No, it is, because salads do not apply in all the
              restaurants.  So it would not have made sense of the
    25        survey because the survey was not just restricted to those
              restaurants where salads were only on -- salads were on 
    26        sale. 
  
    27   Q.   Having seen that 6 per cent of McDonald's employees are
              eating at McDonald's or eating McDonald's meals seven or
    28        more times a week, does that concern you?
              A.  Well, it depends what they are actually eating, does
    29        it not, because certainly I have not accepted that every
              meal or every item in a McDonald's restaurant is outside
    30        the dietary recommendations.
