     1        listed first, then it goes descending downwards?
              A.  I do not know.  I am not sure.
     2
         Q.   I think that is what the law stipulates?
     3        A.  I am sure if there is a law on it, we would have
              abided by the law.  It would have been done by an
     4        independent third party  in any case, not by us directly.
 
     5   Q.   I am reading from your "McDonald's Food:  The Facts"
              pamphlet and according to this, the first ingredient of
     6        the birthday cake is sugar.  If you want to check it for
              yourself, you can.

         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think he should if he is being asked about
     8        it.
 
     9   MR. RAMPTON:  One must be careful which version one is looking
              at.  That looks to me like the 1984 one.
    10
         MISS STEEL:  This is 1989, which of course is the relevant
    11        time.
              A.  Is it in one of these books?
    12
         Q.   It should be.  It is volume 6, section A, No. 2.
    13        A.  Pink?
 
    14   Q.   Yes.
              A.  Do you have a page?
    15
         Q.   Page 22.
    16
         MR. RAMPTON:  I cannot find a date at the moment.
    17
         MR. MORRIS:  Back inside cover.
    18
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is it this?
    19
         MISS STEEL:  That is the version afterwards, but it is probably
    20        roughly the same.  It is dated July 1989.  Have you found
              the page with birthday cake?
    21        A.  Yes, I am trying to determine if this is 1989 or not.
 
    22   Q.   I think it is the second to last page.
              A.  July 1989, yes, OK.
    23
         Q.   Right.  Perhaps you could read out the ingredients of the
    24        birthday cake?
