1 making any recommendations about avoiding cancer risk. You
2 did refer to this in your statement, but we did not look at
3 it but I think in fairness to you, seeing as you have been
4 attacked on this point or asked about this point. If you
5 want to get out -- well, I will tell you what. I can pass
6 this one up because I have got a better copy of it. It is
7 in tab 59 of the defendant's list of documents?
8 A. This one or is it in this?
9
10 Q. It is okay. I will pass up the original.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Is it in the first volume?
13
14 MS. STEEL: Bundle two of the first list of documents.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: And the divider again?
17
18 MS. STEEL: 59. Thank you. (Same handed). This is referred to
19 at the bottom of the second page of your statement?
20 A. Yes.
21
22 Q. The Cancer Education Coordinating Group of the United
23 Kingdom; what is there relationship in terms of the United
24 Kingdom Government or the NHS or anything like that?
25 A. In terms of cancer and diet do you mean? Is that what
26 you are referring to?
27
28 Q. Well, I mean is this the type of literature that you would
29 be giving out in your?
30 A. The type of literature?
31
32 Q. In your department?
33 A. Yes. I did, in fact, bring with me quite a few
34 leaflets from our department which I thought might be
35 interesting to people. Yes. This is the sort of
36 sentence. I mean, when you are giving health promoting
37 literature all the scientific evidence is all, you know,
38 made into language that ordinary people would understand.
39
40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Are you really just asking whether this is
41 handed out in National Health Service outlets, for
42 instance?
43 A. Yes.
44
45 Q. As it happened--
46 A. We would have about a dozen leaflets that would be
47 very similar to this in terms of cancer. I mean, if you
48 look at, I will just describe the number of leaflets there
49 are. Probably look at all those shelves over there, there
50 would probably be, you know, that many different types of
51 leaflet and we look at them and we decide whether they are
52 from a reputable organization and yes that is exactly the
53 sort of leaflet that we would issue to people giving advice
54 to the public.
55
56 Q. Right. I cannot -- sorry. There is also another leaflet
57 that the witness brought down with her. I recognize it. I
58 cannot remember whether it has been disclosed before. It
59 is basically on similar lines but--
