1 Q. You still had an involvement with the Security Department
2 throughout that time?
3 A. Yes, I did -- not 84 or 85. I got it back in 87.
4
5 Q. What about 86 then?
6 A. Sorry.
7
8 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Does this matter absolutely? I mean, why not
9 put what you want to put on this?
10
11 MS. STEEL: You were involved in 1986 as well?
12 A. No, I was not involved in 86. In 86 he was reporting

15 Q. Whether crew members get taxi fares home or a taxi called
16 for them and arranged for them is discretionary, is it
17 not? It is not something that is automatic?
18 A. Those that are going home after close must either have
19 their own transport to get home, or the Manager or another
20 crew person will guarantee running them home, and they are
21 reimbursed for their expenses; or most restaurants had
22 contracts with taxis to come and pick the crew up and take
23 them home, or they just simply called a cab for them, but
24 everybody who finished after close had to have transport
25 home.
26
27 Q. Has to?
28 A. Yes.
29
30 Q. There have been a number of our witnesses that have said
31 they have not had transport provided for them to get home?
32 A. I cannot comment on that, can I?
33
34 Q. Has it always been the case and does that continue to be
35 the case?
36 A. I am sorry, what, taxis?
37
38 Q. About transport home?
39 A. It certainly was up until 1991. I have never heard
40 that it has been rescinded, but I cannot say that it has
41 not because I am no longer involved. But up until 1991 it
42 certainly was the case, yes. That is it. I cannot add
43 anything further to that.
44
45 Q. What is that, sorry?
46 A. I just cannot add anything further to that.
47
48 Q. Can you get pink volume XII, please?
49 A. Yes.
50
51 Q. If you could turn to tab 43, please?
52 A. Yes.

54 Q. This is a memo from you dated 19th January 1990 about the
55 repealing of the Employment Act concerning young people
56 over school leaving age and under 18. No. 3, it says: "No
57 young person should work past midnight. This eliminates
58 the present 10.00 pm deadline for female workers. However,
59 consideration should still be given to travel arrangements
60 home for young persons".
