1 Defendants' document "Can You Avoid Cancer?" which is
2 No. 58 in the kingfisher volume bundle II, documents 26 to
3 59 which he was looking at earlier.
4
5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am going to allow longer on reflection.
6 What I suggest is I will come back at half past 12 and see
7 if we are ready to go on then. That is partly because it
8 will give Dr. Arnott an opportunity to look at the
9 documents. (To the witness): Do you have a piece of
10 paper?
11
12 MR. RAMPTON: Can I ask you to get that one out, Dr. Arnott?
13 It is bundle II of the Defendants' list of documents,
14 document 58. It is a European Community document from
15 1989. I would like you to look, please, in addition to
16 those pages in the WHO report, at pages 18 and 19.
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What were the pages in the WHO report?
19
20 MR. RAMPTON: 62 to 67 or 8, the whole section on Cancer which
21 is very short but which deals serially with each kind of
22 cancer. At page 18 has a section headed "Food".
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We will just have the pages, I think,
25 Mr. Rampton.
26
27 MR. RAMPTON: 18, 19 and 27.
28
29 MR. MORRIS: Of what?
30
31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: This is tab 58.
32
33 MR. RAMPTON: "Can you Avoid Cancer?", tab 58.
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: European Community one.
36
37 MR. RAMPTON: Just have a glance at those during the break and
38 remind yourself, please, Dr. Arnott, of the Conclusion of
39 the COMA Committee on page 52 at 3.5.6 in the Grey Book.
40
41 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What was the Grey Book reference?
42
43 MR. RAMPTON: Page 52, my Lord. The Conclusion of their review
44 of the evidence about Cancer at 3.5.6. Then I will simply
45 ask you -----
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us leave it there. The point of asking
48 this is I would have otherwise, in so far as new documents
49 are concerned, given the opportunity, if it was desired,
50 for Dr. Arnott to read them before being asked any further
51 questions on it. If you can avoid the need for that by
52 taking 20 minutes or so now, well and good.
53
54 MR. RAMPTON: It will also avoid my reading them out in
55 re-examination as well.
56
57 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Will twenty minutes be enough for you,
58 Ms. Steel and Mr. Morris?
59
60 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
