Day 295 - 06 Nov 96 - Page 05

     
     1        I think they just skated through that.  Obviously, he
     2        concentrated mainly on welfare.  But I was just briefly
     3        checking something on Dr. Long's transcripts and there are
     4        quite a lot of references to the production and slaughter
     5        end of this argument on this issue, and I believe you said
     6        that you would be reading him, anyway, regarding welfare.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   I had it in mind that I would reread Dr.
     9        Long anyway.
    10
    11   MR. MORRIS:   Right.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   The transcript.
    14
    15   MR. MORRIS:   I would appreciate it if you could note -----
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So you would like me to keep an eye open for
    18        food safety factors.
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:   Yes, any food safety issue.  I notice with their
         notes they have only put day 113 references, so it is
    22        possible they only checked the first day of his evidence.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just pause a moment.  (Pause)  Yes.
    25
    26   MR. MORRIS:   Page 15 seems to have printed out wrongly, so it
    27        refers to the evidence of David Wignall.  He was questioned
    28        about cooking times.  I am sure you would have made notes
    29        at the time.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:   But under 1B on that page, we noted about the
    34        increase of cooking times before the Preston incident, and
    35        afterwards as well.  Obviously, in terms of the relevant
    36        time that this case is focusing on, which is the late '80s
    37        up to 1990, then the cooking times would have been
    38        substantially shorter than they are now.
    39
    40        The reference to Clare Druce at the bottom goes on over the
         page at the top, page 16, so there seems to be a big mix-up
    42        there, but there we go.
    43
    44        Page 17, the evidence of John Atherton -----
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Hold on a moment.  Oh, I see, that line at
    47        the top.
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:   Yes.  In fact, the word 'immuno' at the end
    50        continues, believe it or not, on the previous page inside
    51        the box at the top.  So there is a big mix-up there.
    52
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:   That is the direct quote, 'immuno compromised',
    56        which I quoted anyway in my round up of core points.
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.
