Day 277 - 10 Jul 96 - Page 16
1 tray and every time you went to the office you would check
2 through that tray to see whether or not there was a letter
3 addressed to you. If there was, obviously, you would deal
4 with it. But, I mean, anyone -- I am not talking about
5 Mr. Morris specifically, but that was how it worked.
6
7 Q. So, if?
8 A. Anyone, any one individual who the letter was addressed
9 to would open it the next time they went in.
10
11 Q. And other people would not open a letter addressed to
12 somebody else?
13 A. No.
14
15 Q. Right. So if during 1990 I dropped in to show my face on a
16 handful of occasions, it would not have been unusual to
17 check the mail tray to see if there were any letters for me
18 and deal with any letters that had arrived?
19 A. It would be probably the first thing probably anyone
20 would do if they went up there, check whether there were
21 any letters for them. It is always interesting to see if
22 you have got any letters.
23
24 Q. If they sometimes had been there for a while?
25 A. They might be even more enthusiastic, I don't know.
26
27 Q. So, what I am basically putting to you is that even if
28 someone is not involved the group they may continue to
29 still get letters about some campaign they have been
30 involved with?
31 A. Yes.
32
33 Q. Previously?
34 A. I mean, sometimes letters would come sort of two years
35 after, you know, the person was last seen, or something
36 like that.
37
38 Q. Right. I just want to see if there is a next date I want
39 you to look at. I might seem to be taking a bit of time
40 but actually I am cutting out quite a few questions on the
41 notes. Yes, in the notes of -- well, hold on a second --
42 sorry, it is a meeting you were not present at. I will
43 leave that one. On 2nd August, the notes of Brian Bishop
44 -- which you do not have to look up if you don't want to
45 because I am just going to ask you a general question --
46 mentions my involvement in the Trafalgar Square Defence
47 Committee, yes? It was actually called--
48 A. The Trafalgar Square Defendants Campaign.
49
50 Q. Yes, it was actually called the Trafalgar Square
51 Defendants' campaign. Can you recall that one of the
52 witnesses, if not the main one, dropped in to London
53 Greenpeace meetings on a handful of occasion this year
54 because I wanted to report on, for example, the
55 considerable amount of work that I was doing around the
56 poll tax and coming events that I was involved in
57 organising?
58 A. Well, you certainly used to, you know, report back on
59 what was going on with the antipoll tax campaign and the
60 claimants union.
