3 Q. Are you saying there is nothing similar to that document,
4 if it be the 1988 document, as the 1989 fayre, page 102?
5 A. Well, this was the equivalent document for 1989 for
6 the fayre. This was the programme and I think we had about
7 2,000 copies of it printed and taken.

9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Where does it actually start? Does it start
10 on 102 or 104?
11 A. 104.
12
13 MR. RAMPTON: The question I am interested in, Mr. Gravett - my
14 Lord, this will be my last question - is whether in 1989
15 there was not a similar document to what you see at page
16 102 available for members of the public to read so they
17 could go and pick up that anti-McDonald's fact sheet?
18 A. The answer to that, to the best of my knowledge, is
19 no. I mean, if there was, we would have put it in the
20 programme and the reason there was nothing in the programme
21 saying go and get copy of the fact sheet from the stall in
22 the foyer was because, as far as I am aware, there were not
23 copies of the fact sheet on the stall in the foyer,
24 certainly not piles of them, because there were a few left
25 by then.
26
27 Q. But any that would have been left would have been taken
28 along, would they not?
29 A. No, they would have been kept in the office to answer
30 specific McDonald's enquiries and I saw to that, that that
31 happened.
32
33 Q. Your recollection, at least, and indeed I would say your
34 opinion is that there were none of the anti-McDonald's fact
35 sheets available for 1989 fayre; is that right?
36 A. Well, what I am saying is -- I am not saying that there
37 was not. I obviously cannot be accountable for everything
38 that was at the fayre. I did not take any. I did not see
39 anyone else in London Greenpeace take any. It is possible
40 that someone might have brought some along off their own
41 back, but, you know, it was not a group decision.
42
43 Q. Despite the fact that you distributed them to members of
44 the press in August of that year?
45 A. Yes.
46
47 MR. RAMPTON: Thank you, my Lord, for that.
48
49 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We will have our five-minute break.

52
53 MR. RAMPTON: Now, Mr. Gravett, could you turn back now please
54 to tab, or maybe it is forwards, I do not know, to tab 47
55 in this pink volume 1A?
56 A. Yes.
57
58 Q. Headed "Big Mac Attack" and this is 1989. This is the
59 publicity for the 16th October protest day, is it not?
60 A. Yes. This would have been put --
