     1        which, as you have noted, cancer is one of them.  They do
     2        not say "may be" or "could be" or whatever; they seem to
     3        quite accept that, in fact, dietary factors are important
     4        in the causation of cancer, yes.

     6   MS. STEEL:   OK.  Thank you.
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  No further questions.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you, Dr. Barnard.  You are released
    11        from further attendance.  Thank you very much.
    12
    13                        (The witness withdrew)
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:  Just in terms of what is happening next from our
    18        side:  First of all, there was a strong possibility that
    19        Dr. Barnard would continue until tomorrow.  Jane Brophey
    20        lives outside London and she has a young child.  We said
    21        to her that it would be risky to come tomorrow and she may
    22        not have been completed tomorrow.  So, we asked her not to
    23        come tomorrow and we will arrange a new time for her.
    24
    25        Secondly, I did contact Mr. Peter Cox but he was not there
    26        and I left a message for him.  He is actually in the
    27        middle of moving house.  I said that he may be needed
    28        tomorrow instead of, as he would have been, I believe it
    29        was, today and yesterday.  So, I actually do not know
    30        definitely whether he has got the message.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Was there any possibility of you getting in
    33        touch with him this evening?
    34
    35   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, the trouble is because he has moved house he
    36        can only be contacted through a message answering service
    37         , so it is a bit complicated.  But we will certainly
    38        contact him and, as for Dr. David Ride, we would like to
    39        ask -- we have asked him and he is happy to defer to
    40        Dr. Neil Barnard.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is there someone you can be confident of
    43        calling tomorrow?
    44
    45   MR. MORRIS:  On the Dr. David Ride subject -----
    46
    47   MR. RAMPTON:  I think the suggestion is he is being dropped.
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:  We want to drop him, but in terms of, as far as we
    50        are concerned, his evidence is covered by Dr. Barnard, so 
    51        it could be superfluous. 
    52 
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Right.  You do not wish to call him?
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  No.  Can we take it then that he is officially
    56        dropped?
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  The question is what we do now.
    59        Obviously, if you could call Mr. Cox tomorrow that would
    60        be better but ......
