     1        the carcass was re-washed.  If he makes a report, he makes
     2        a detailed report.
     3
     4   Q.   But your inspector is not there all the time, is he?
     5        A.  No, he is not there all the time.
     6
     7   Q.   So if he is not there it may well carry on and not be
     8        washed off properly?
     9        A.  Well, I cannot say that, can I?  We set standards and
    10        in any quality control inspection, and when you inspect any
    11        supplier, you are telling that supplier what you require.
    12        You are setting the standards, but you are not there all
    13        the time.  All this proves is that my chaps are doing their
    14        job.
    15
    16   Q.   There were problems.  At the bottom of the page it says:
    17        "This supplier will be revisited as soon as possible to
    18        ensure that recommendations have been implemented"?
    19        A.  Yes.
    20
    Q.   I have been through these documents and I cannot see any
    22        documents relating to a further visit, a further
    23        inspection.
    24        A.  This document that you are looking at is dated 9th June
    25        1993.  Somewhere in quality control files back at Milton
    26        Keynes will be at least -- at least -- another four or five
    27        reports.
    28
    29   Q.   Do you personally know that further inspections ---
    30        A.  Yes, I do.
    31
    32   Q.   -- to chase up this took place?
    33        A.  Yes, I do.
    34
    35   Q.   Do you say you have documents relating to that?
    36        A.  Yes, I have.
    37
    38   Q.   Going on to page H, can you just explain what this
    39        represents, this report?
    40        A.  It is a quality control receiving report which says
         that the supplier was Jarret and tells you the order
    42        number, the weight received, the price paid per pound, the
    43        packing date, the fact that the health certificate was
    44        attached to or was with the consignment.  It goes on to
    45        tell you that the temperature was wo.7 degrees when the
    46        meat arrived.  Defects -- it looks like there were bone
    47        slivers, minor.
    48
    49   Q.   So if they are minor defects "would you" still accept the
    50        beef? 
    51        A.  Well, yes, bone slivers because they are removed in the 
    52        process. 
    53
    54   Q.   How many pages are there per receiving report because there
    55        seem to be more than one, but there does not seem to be two
    56        pages for each date, so I was trying to work that out.
    57        A.  I think there is one.
    58
    59   Q.   The following page is different.
    60        A.  Yes, but I mean that is just a different layout.  That
