     2   Q.   So you probably did not have a particularly good memory of
     3        what was going on at the meetings, you know, without having
     4        these notes to refresh your memory?
     5        A.  Some things, some moments I can remember quite clearly;
     6        other moments, I have to refer to the report that I wrote
     7        at the time.
     8
     9   Q.   But in terms of remembering what was going on at a specific
    10        meeting, you would have to rely on your notes?
    11        A.  Yes.  I would not be able to remember a date for a
    12        specific meeting.
    13
    14   Q.   You mentioned yesterday about having a tape recorder where,
    15        after the meetings, you dictated into it?
    16        A.  Yes.
    17
    18   Q.   Was it always immediately after the meeting?
    19        A.  As I drove back to my base, yes.
    20
    Q.   When you say "base", are you talking about home or the
    22        office?
    23        A.  Wherever I was going after the meeting ended, yes.
    24
    25   Q.   You did not go back to Kings to compile your reports?
    26        A.  The office would not have been open at that time of
    27        night.
    28
    29   Q.   You did not record what went on at the meetings on your
    30        dictaphone?
    31        A.  Yes.
    32
    33   Q.   I mean during the actual meeting?
    34        A.  I beg your pardon.  No, no; at the end of the meeting.
    35
    36   Q.   What about in terms of remembering things like who said
    37        what; is that all from what you said at the end of the
    38        meeting; you were not making notes during the meeting ---
    39        A.  No.
    40
    Q.   -- keeping any other kind of record ---
    42        A.  Not during the meeting.
    43
    44   Q.   -- contemporaneously?
    45        A.  No.  The notes would have been -- the dictated notes
    46        would have been made immediately after the meeting ended.
    47
    48   Q.   You said that you were particularly told about myself and
    49        Mr. Morris?
    50        A.  Yes. 
    51 
    52   Q.   So, if we were present and if we had said something, you 
    53        would have made a note of that fact?
    54        A.  I would have remembered it or, indeed, at the meetings
    55        where you were not present, if somebody else had referred
    56        to you, then I would have made a particular note of
    57        remembering what was said.
    58
    59   MS. STEEL:  The notes that -- can I just ask a question for the
    60        judge?
