     1   MR. MORRIS:  It was after that, I think, that ----
     2
     3   MR. RAMPTON:  The answer that I think Ms. Steel is thinking of
     4        which, I am afraid, does not support what she has been
     5        submitting, is page 38 line whatever it is but it against
     6        time 14.32.36, page 38, line 22, at the bottom of the page.
     7
     8        "Ms Steel:   There is also the concern of Furazolodone that
     9        it is carcinogenic?
    10
    11        "A.   Yes, although that has never been demonstrated as a
    12        result of residue in meat".
    13
    14        Of course the questioning is double-barrelled.
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I understood that to relate to concern, not
    17        the fact of being ----
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  Then go on.
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is the actual page and line reference to
    22        that?
    23
    24   MR. RAMPTON:  Then it goes on:  "But that is the view of the
    25        various bodies that have banned its use for animals in
    26        forming part of the human food chain?
    27
    28        "A.  Yes."
    29
    30        Where does that take us is what I am asking.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What we are looking for now, there is an easy
    33        way round this.  You can ask the question whether he
    34        accepts that it was carcinogenic.  I certainly have not got
    35        the picture that he has so far.
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  There is also concern with -----
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If you give me a page and line, we are
    40        looking back over about four pages of Case View.
    41
    42   MR. RAMPTON:  Page 38, line 22, my Lord, against 14.32.36.
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  "Q.  There is also concern that it is
    45        carcinogenic?"
    46
    47        "A.  Yes."
    48
    49        That seemed to me at the time to be an answer that there is
    50        a concern, not an acceptance that it is carcinogenic. 
    51 
    52   MS. STEEL:  That was related to the last question which was 
    53        whether the only concern about antibiotics was whether
    54        bacteria became resistant to them.  That was the reason why
    55        it was phrased in that way.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Ask the question again, but I am certainly
    58        not taking from any of the answers so far that this witness
    59        has accepted that Furazolodone is carcinogenic.
