1 publication witness for the defence. But he made a
2 supplementary statement regarding public statements made by
3 McDonald's representatives.
4
5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He is F7.
6
7 MR. MORRIS: Yes. I am not sure if his other statement-----
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let me just have a look.
10
11 MR. MORRIS: ----- was put behind it. It says "supplements to
12 statement by Veggies Limited, March 3, 1994" at the top.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, I have got a statement dated 21st October
15 1993 and then I have got a two letters; one 8th October
16 1987 and one appears to be just the first sheet where the
17 date is difficult, December, something December, 87 from
18 Barlow Lyde & Gilbert to the managing director of Veggies
19 Limited and to Messrs Elliott Mather Smith.
20
21 MR. MORRIS: They are all publication matters. But he made an
22 extra statement and I do not know where it was put now
23 which was regarding statements made to him in a radio panel
24 by McDonald's representatives regarding tropical forests

26
27 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let me look there again.
28
29 MR. MORRIS: ----- my bundles.

31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I have got behind Laura Waters, I have
32 got "transcript of part of a debate broadcast on
33 Loughborough campus radio, 8th December 93" and then
34 "witnessed by Patrick Smith, Veggies."
35
36 MR. MORRIS: Have you got a statement of Patrick Smith to that
37 effect?
38
39 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord I have. Your Lordship is welcome to have
40 mine.
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I do not think I have, no.
43
44 MR. MORRIS: The only reason I bring it up now because we intend
45 to call him anyway as a witness regarding publication but
46 he is in the environment section, so we could just leave
47 it.
48
49 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can I have a copy of that statement?
50
51 MR. RAMPTON: The supplement I will hand up, my Lord. Has your
52 Lordship got a transcript of the broadcast because I can
53 hand that up. Mine are completely unmarked. (Same handed)
54
55 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I have got is about two-thirds of the
56 page it starts "I am here specifically."
57
58 MR. RAMPTON: That is it, my Lord.
59
60 MR. JUSTICE BELL: And then "sustain it or not."
