MS. STEEL: Do you think we could have a few minutes to sort
2 things out?
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, I will rise for five minutes. Just
think about whether there is anything else you must put.
4 You have put a lot; you have covered a lot of ground. We
will have a five minute break and see if there is anything
5 else which you really do have to put and what it is, if it
is there at all.
6
MS. STEEL: OK.
7 (Short Adjournment)
8 MS. STEEL: I just want to ask about another paper you have
written.
9
MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let me have a copy. (Handed).
10
MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, I say nothing about the procedure at the
11 moment. As your Lordship may guess, there are certain
things passing through my mind that I would say, but
12 I have taken your Lordship's indication. What I do ask
for the future is this, that when these documents are
13 pulled out of a hat in the course of any part of the
proceedings -- if indeed they ever are again, which I
14 would hope to prevent -- I wonder if the defendants would
not mind providing sufficient copies for us, so that this
15 can be avoided: When I get the document, naturally
enough, I keep to myself, I mark it and so on and so
16 forth.
17 MS. STEEL: I have another one. (Handed to learned counsel)
18 MR. RAMPTON: That is a general stricture, if I might put it
like that, because there have been a number of documents
19 of which there has only been sufficient to me; Mrs.
Brinley-Codd has to try to ensure that all the files are
20 in order. It is very difficult if she does not get a
copy.
21
MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
22
MS. STEEL: I just want to reiterate some of the points that
23 you have made in here. The very first comment: "Diet is
the primary factor in the development of most of" ------
24
MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us have it. This is Healthy Eating:
25 The Food Issue of the 1990s.
26 MS. STEEL: By Mr. Wheelock published in the British Food
Journal, volume 94, No.2, 1992.
27
MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
28
MISS STEEL: The very first line is: "Diet is the primary
29 factor in the development of most of the degenerative
diseases in many industrialised countries." Do you
30 broadly agree with all these points?
A. Yes.
