2 MR. MORRIS (To the witness): Yes, but as an expert, though,
3 that is the kind of standard test procedure, is it, in
4 these cases, to have a failure percentage that could be
5 discounted? Obviously, with salmonella it is nought
6 because they will not allow any failure, but that is the
7 standard procedure, is it?
8 A. There are not standard procedures. These are just
9 McKey's own guidelines for what they think will be
10 necessary in order to meat the final standards.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Shall we break off there?
13
14 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We will resume at 2 o'clock. I will ask you
17 at 2 o'clock how you think you are doing with Professor
18 Jackson out of consideration for Mr. Clark, as much as
19 anything else, whether Mr. Clark is called by Mr. Rampton,
20 called by you or not called at all, so we can just see what
21 the timing is like.
22
23 (Luncheon Adjournment)
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What is your best prognosis on time?
26
27 MR. MORRIS: It looks like we are probably going to finish
28 today. I do not know where that leaves us.
29
30 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, let us see how you go. The only thing
31 I have in mind is one or two things I may want to say to
32 you about calling or not calling Mr. Clark, that will be
33 very short, but if we did finish this afternoon and if
34 Mr. Rampton then made a decision, we might have to consider
35 whether he could make a decision this evening about
36 Mr. Clark. Do you see? But do not concern yourself about
37 that now. Just carry on with your cross-examination of
38 Professor Jackson.
39
40 MR. MORRIS: I am not sure where the map is of the floor plan of
41 Jarrets.
42
43 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, it is in tab 9 of volume IX.
44
45 THE WITNESS: I have not found it. Which volume was it?
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yellow volume IX, please, Professor Jackson,
48 and then tab 9 among the documents there.
49
50 MR. MORRIS: Did you say this was a fairly standard layout and
51 satisfactory, as far as you were concerned?
52 A. Yes.
53
54 Q. You said about possible contamination, important areas, one
55 was by the dehiding; is that correct?
56 A. Yes.
57
58 Q. A general question: is there a problem in some
59 slaughterhouses with contaminated material crossing the
60 line, the moving line of the carcasses? Is that a problem?
