Day 265 - 19 Jun 96 - Page 75
1 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, we need to know when the Defendants wish
2 to have either Mr. Bishop or Mr. Pocklington, or both of
3 them, recalled. It may be contentious because I may wish
4 to argue that they should not be, so I would have to know
5 what the reasons are if they do. If your Lordship said
6 they should be recalled, then I would have to get on to it
7 pretty fast.
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What do you think about that? I am not
10 encouraging you to ask for them to be recalled.
11
12 MS. STEEL: I have only read the notes briefly, but there is
13 one thing which I put to the witness, Mr. Bishop, and he
14 said it was possible and then he said -- this is about
15 whether or not it was the IMF leaflets or the fayre
16 leaflets that I was getting printed -- and he said it could
17 have been the IMF leaflets but, based on his notes, he did
18 not think it would be.
19
20 In the other notes we have got of the 20th September 1990
21 it actually says that I was doing the IMF leaflets. I do
22 not know what the position is, whether I need to ask
23 Mr. Bishop that, or whether I can just say "Well, this" --
24 I mean, can we just say, "This part of the note is
25 correct", or what?
26
27 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, I really would not have thought it was
28 worth bringing back Mr. Bishop for that. Mr. Bishop has
29 said his recollection was uncertain anyhow. If Ms. Steel
30 says it was the IMF notes, and I do not contradict him,
31 nothing turns on it anyway.
32
33 MS. STEEL: Can we have a guarantee that Mr. Rampton will not
34 contradict me?
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If you are prepared to make a formal
37 admission that it may have been the IMF leaflets -----
38
39 MR. RAMPTON: I cannot do it now -- well, I could if I could be
40 given the page number and the date, please?
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you have the page number?
43
44 MR. RAMPTON: I need both.
45
46 MS. STEEL: It is 20th September, 1990. I looked at it
47 yesterday, I cannot remember where it is. I just remember
48 noticing it.
49
50 MR. RAMPTON: It is, my Lord, page 206 -- well, 202.
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have not written on the page numbers yet.
53 Is it part of the report which relates to Miss Hooker?
54
55 MR. RAMPTON: The Bishop one, my Lord. It is the reference I
56 have just given.
57
58 MR. MORRIS: But which of the -- is it Frances Davidson or
59 Michelle Hooker report?
