Day 243 - 02 May 96 - Page 24

     
     1        Crawford's availability for the required amount of time is
     2        being affected by the availability of Mr. Olive or not.
     3
     4   MR. MORRIS:  We can reschedule him first.
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So, which was the first day you were
     7        suggesting for Professor Crawford -- the 18th?
     8
     9   MS. STEEL:   18th June which is a Tuesday.  Jane Brophy on
    10        20th.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Have you sent Professor Naismith's statement
    13        to -----
    14
    15   MS. STEEL:  I have got copies made and I am intending to get the
    16        letters written and certainly out -----
    17
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest you do, I said something to
    19        the effect, suggested, that you send the whole statement,
    20        but direct his attention particularly to the parts which
         relate to heart disease.
    22
    23   MS. STEEL:   Yes.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will add to that that you should tell him
    26        that there may be some more evidence on updating diet and
    27        cancer, whether or not Dr. Arnott comes back for that.  You
    28        have some indication of what some of the developments may
    29        be from Professor Naismith's statement.  So, I would
    30        suggest that you ask Professor Crawford to look at that,
    31        even though I have not given leave for Professor Naismith
    32        to give evidence about it.
    33
    34   MS. STEEL:   Yes, I mean, I did actually mention that to both
    35        the witnesses when I spoke to them.  They said that, as far
    36        as they are aware, the only things that have come out are
    37        industry things and -----
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is entirely a matter for them.
    40
    MS. STEEL:   They do not consider the position has changed.
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   I am just adding to what I said before.
    44
    45   MS. STEEL:   I think that that is .....
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The reason I asked the question whether you
    48        have sent Professor Naismith, is that you have to do your
    49        best to communicate with Professor Crawford about that
    50        against the possibility that Professor Naismith gives his 
    51        evidence before Mr. Crawford is back. 
    52 
    53   MS. STEEL:   We want him to be heard before Mr.  -----
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, if you need to get instructions from, or
    56        if you need to ask Professor Crawford about -----
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:   To get advice on what to ask him?
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, or get him to help you as to what you
