     1        consumers, yes.  I understand salad bars are actually
     2        available in other countries in McDonald's, but not in
     3        this country.

     5   Q.   As far as promotion is concerned, we have just heard from
     6        Mr. Justice Bell about a recent advert, and if the adverts
     7        continue to promote mainly the foods that are high in fat,
     8        salt and sugar, would that be taking a responsible
     9        position?
    10        A.  Clearly then they should look at their promotional
    11        activities to ask if they can increase their
    12        responsibility there.
    13
    14   Q.   If I just go to a leaflet, McDonald's leaflet, called
    15        "Nutrition A Question of Balance" January 1994, which is
    16        in volume VI -- I do not actually know if the Plaintiffs
    17        have served it.  Is it not in the documents then?  We have
    18        a document here that we just assumed was part of the
    19        recent disclosure in the summer, but we will obviously get
    20        copies of it -- the Plaintiffs have copies of it for
    21        certain so we should not need to provide it.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do I have a copy of that?
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  We will have to get one for yourself later.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Carry on.
    28
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  No, my Lord, we do not have it, not at the
    30        moment; I have no doubt we can acquire one.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Hold it up so that I can see.
    33
    34   MR. MORRIS:  I think their previous versions have been
    35        available.
    36
    37   MS. STEEL:   This is another version.
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What date is that?
    40
    41   MS. STEEL:   That one is January 1994 and this one is not
    42        dated.
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Anyway, you are reading from January 1994,
    45        are you, Mr. Morris?
    46
    47   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  Just briefly, you make some comments about
    48        some of the -- this is the booklet that I think is most
    49        often found in McDonald's stores.
    50 
    51   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, that is absolutely outrageous.  Mr. 
    52        Morris has no evidence at all.  Nobody said a word about 
    53        it in this court.  He must retract and rephrase his
    54        question.
    55
    56   MS. STEEL:   If needs be, I can make a statement to say that
    57        every store I have been in that has been the main one that
    58        has been available and the other ones -----
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Leave where it has come from.
