1 exactly what that was?
2 A. What the information was?
3
4 Q. Yes.
5 A. No, I cannot remember.
6
7 MR. MORRIS: Right.
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You must put the challenge, if there is
10 one. It is the second time I have asked you to.
11
12 MR. MORRIS: I am getting more information, and it is quite
13 important -----
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Very well. You must put it. In my notebook,
16 if you do not make a specific challenge, I make a note of
17 the fact that you have not; and if you go into the witness
18 box and then say something positive which is contrary to
19 what the witness has said, when I have invited to put a
20 challenge and you have not, I begin to wonder why, or I may
21 wonder why. So it is very important that you do it if
22 I ask you to.
23
24 MR. MORRIS: Right. Thank you. OK.
25
26 (To the witness) Just before I do that, I put to you that,
27 bearing in mind that you said sometimes the longer version
28 of the leaflet was out of stock ---
29 A. Yes.
30
31 Q. -- and that nobody ever said, so far as you know, that it
32 was going to be reprinted ---
33 A. I did not hear anyone say that.
34
35 Q. You did not hear anyone say that -- and you would have
36 noted that and been concerned about that, that the reality
37 is that the fact sheet, the specific one complained of, was
38 out of stock?
39 A. It was sometimes out of stock, and other times there
40 were quantities of it, in the office.
41
42 Q. In the filing cabinet?
43 A. In the filing cabinet or on the shelf or on the table.
44
45 Q. Did you see how many were in the filing cabinet?
46 A. No. I did not count them.
47
48 Q. Could it have been there were, you know, three or four
49 library copies in there, or something, which were shown to
50 new people, or something like that?
51 A. I am unable to say that that is what their purpose was.
52
53 Q. I put it to you that there may, in fact, have been -- the
54 reality was -- there were three or four library copies in
55 the filing cabinet which you might have seen. Would you
56 accept that?
57 A. It cannot -----
