Day 267 - 21 Jun 96 - Page 31
1 Q. Paul was keen to do this radio interview, was he not?
2 A. I do not recall.
3
4 Q. He did not appear to have any fear that he would not have
5 the facts and figures to back up what he was going to talk
6 about?
7 A. I do not recall. I am relying on my notes.
8
9 Q. You said that, you go on about having looked through the
10 last week's minutes book, the last week's minutes, and then
11 you talk of about ten letters opened tonight, 6 of them
12 were...?
13 A. Requesting.
14
15 Q. "Requesting information about the antiMcDonald's
16 campaign." Was that a letter that you opened or?
17 A. No. I do not recall. It may have been a letter that
18 was read.
19
20 Q. Then it says: "The meeting itself was rather..." -- and
21 what does that say?
22 A. I do not know. I cannot recall.
23
24 Q. You cannot read it?
25 A. No.
26
27 MR. RAMPTON: Could I help? I have the original.
28
29 MR. MORRIS: Sorry, I have got them here. What is the
30 question?
31
32 MS. STEEL: I cannot read it.
33
34 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Fruitful?
35 A. Possibly. They were scribbles in the car after.
36
37 MR. MORRIS: "... with nothing special mentioned about
38 anti-McDonald's. The meeting itself was rather" -----
39
40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Why do you not show it to the person who
41 wrote it?
42
43 MR. MORRIS: Yes, OK. (Same handed).
44 A. It says "fruitful", sir
45
46 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Fruitful?
47 A. Yes.
48
49 MS. STEEL: It says "fruitful". Right. So, "The meeting itself
50 was rather fruitful with nothing special mentioned about
51 antiMcDonald's. At the start there were six present, at
52 the end eight. I was asked to write the minutes." If
53 there was nothing mentioned about McDonald's, in what way
54 was the meeting fruitful?
55 A. It should read, from looking at it now, "fruitless"
56 not "fruitful".
57
58 Q. It was not fruitful because you managed to take a copy of
59 the bank statement and the correspondence on the desk about
60 Aldgate Press having printed some antiMcDonald's leaflets?
