     1        was a question.

     3        Then she was again asked:  "How to hire them, how to fire
     4        them, how to do the performance reviews, how to organise
     5        the rap sessions?"  She said:  "Right.  It is more the
     6        organisational part of what they would do in terms of their
     7        management skills, if you like." "... it is more the
     8        organisational and administrative", and, as far as I can
     9        see, that would be -- the complete manual would be totally
    10        relevant to the employment practices section.  They are all
    11        matters which have been aired in the court and are issues
    12        in the case.
    13
    14        The next thing I wanted to ask for, I am hoping you will
    15        remember because I cannot actually remember, I have not my
    16        copy of the document with me.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  I will tell your Lordship where it is.  I will
    19        give the reference.  It is document C behind the statement
    20        which is volume X, tab 7 at the bottom.  I will read it out
    21        to save everybody else getting it out.  At the bottom of
    22        the key to the Crew Termination Code what it says is (it is
    23        number 34):  "Other termination codes 34 maternity (see
    24        attached memo)".  We will have a look at it and see if it
    25        is relevant and, if it is, we will disclose it.
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:   Maternity is relevant to the issue of Sarah Baker's
    28        dismissal, the way she was treated when she became pregnant
    29        and, effectively, constructively dismissed.  She is a
    30        witness of ours.  She has confirmed that she is coming to
    31        court.
    32
    33        The next one is fairly simple.  It is the questions for the
    34        crew survey that we saw.  We saw the answers for them.
    35        I just thought it would be appropriate to have a copy of
    36        the actual survey, the questionnaire that goes to the
    37        employees so that we can see what the exact questions are.
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Could you just make sure I have the
    40        right document?  Refer me to the actual survey you have
    41        in mind because I think we have more than one now.
    42
    43   MS. STEEL:  I think again that is behind Ms. Mead's statement.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would like you to identify the specific one
    46        there.
    47
    48   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, the document is "H" behind Ms. Mead's
    49        statement.
    50 
    51   MS. STEEL:   I think there are four pages of it. 
    52 
    53   MR. RAMPTON:  No, there are three pages of it, as far as I am
    54        aware.  Yes, there are three pages; one is the answers to
    55        the questions; one is the completion of that and a bar
    56        chart and the last is the answers graded according to
    57        response.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I wonder whether you had something else in
    60        mind?  Are you suggesting there will be more than the
