2 Q. As Miss Steel has pointed out, the passage or one of the
3 passages concerning her starts at the bottom of page 60 and
4 goes over to page 9 at the top. You see you have written
5 this at the top of page 9, third line, last word. "She
6 admitted to helping with all antiMcDonald's
7 information/leaflets and their distribution." Do you see
8 that?
9 A. Yes, I do, sir.
10
11 Q. When you were asked about that, I think it was on Friday,
12 how you came to write that word, what you say was in effect
13 this. "If that is --

15 MS. STEEL: Can we have a reference, page reference?
16
17 MR. RAMPTON: Page 17. "If that is what my notes say it would
18 probably mean that you had said something for me to have
19 made those notes." Then you said, same page: "I cannot
20 recall right at this period of time, but for me to have
21 used the word 'admitted' you must have said something, I
22 would assume, for me to use that word." Do you remember
23 giving those answers?
24 A. Yes, I do.
25
26 Q. Do you adhere to those answers?
27 A. Yes, I do.

29 Q. Can I ask you to look at the notes for 1st March please
30 which is page 87. Mr. Morris was cross-examining you about
31 this page on Wednesday and he was putting to you that what
32 you there recorded about him against the figure 4 in two
33 places, in the middle of the page and the bottom of the
34 page, might have been said to you about Mr. Morris by
35 somebody else. Do you remember that?
36 A. I --
37
38 Q. Do you remember that cross-examination?
39 A. I do not particularly remember it.
40
41 Q. But if you look at the second 4, the one at the bottom of
42 the page, last paragraph, it says this: "Dave admitted to
43 being involved strongly in antiMcDonald's campaign", full
44 stop. Do you see that?
45 A. Yes, I do, sir.
46
47 Q. I am not asking you to remember now precisely what words
48 Mr. Morris used, but you see you have used the word
49 "admitted" again as you have in relation to Miss Steel?
50 A. Yes.
51
52 Q. Are you willing to say what you would have meant by the
53 word "admitted" when you wrote it down at that time?
54 A. He would have volunteered that information.
55
56 Q. To you?
57 A. To me or to the group as a whole.

59 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, thank you, Mr. Claire.
