     1        A.  Yes.
     2
     3   Q.  -- and asked for Dave to be, well, to say that Dave wanted
     4        to know what was happening with the meeting the next
     5        week ---
     6        A.  Yes.
     7
     8   Q.   -- you say: "The whole matter was discussed yet again"?
     9        A.  Yes.
    10
    11   Q.   I do not know whether this is a fair question to ask the
    12        witness.  But had you made a note of it earlier on in these
    13        notes?
    14        A.  That which had been discussed up to that point in the
    15        meeting was repeated for your benefit, because you arrived
    16        not at the beginning of the meeting.
    17
    18   Q.   It probably is not a fair question to the witness.  The
    19        point I am trying to make is that it appears that some of
    20        the blanked out parts actually relate to that discussion
    21        before I arrived, seeing as it says "the whole thing was
    22        discussed yet again".  I do not know if Mr. Rampton
    23        can.....
    24
    25        Would that be correct, that you had actually made a note of
    26        it in one of these parts that have been blanked out?
    27        A.  I cannot say.
    28
    29   Q.   You cannot remember?
    30        A.  No.
    31
    32   Q.   But, presumably, you would have made a note of it if there
    33        had been a discussion?
    34        A.  I would assume so.  That was my role at the meetings.
    35
    36   MS. STEEL:  If we could ask for the blanked out parts to be
    37        disclosed?
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you need a decision on that to continue
    40        with your cross-examination of Mr. Bishop?
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   I can carry on but -- I mean, I will carry on for
    43        now.
    44
    45        (To the witness)  You say: "As a result of being told the
    46        content of the proposed meeting, a discussion of the
    47        differences between anarchism and socialism, she telephoned
    48        Dave Morris who had a long talk" -- sorry, it is actually
    49        "Dave (Morris)".  So you were not sure that it was
    50        Mr. Morris? 
    51        A.  No.  In my initial briefing -- I may not have made this 
    52        clear -- I was not given your surnames initially. 
    53
    54   Q.   So, how did you get the impression that it was Morris?
    55        A.  I do not know.
    56
    57   Q.   "...who had a long talk with Marion on the telephone."  If
    58        I suggest that it was not me who telephoned -- well, it was
    59        not me who telephoned whoever it was -- but it was not me
    60        who telephoned Dave, there does not appear to be much sense
