     1        connected with the issues and the background would, I dare
     2        say, take up these matters from the proceedings of the
     3        conference if they felt it was necessary.
     4
     5        We ourselves actually got involved with the Royal Navy
     6        over problems they were experiencing in actual practice of
     7        the change in style in warfare and the impact that
     8        nutrition had it.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is there anything more you want from that?
    11        If I may say so, we are having quite a lot of pauses
    12        today.  Do not pause to read it through.  I have read the
    13        relevant bits anyway.  You are on publications of various
    14        bodies which you say should have some authority.  Is there
    15        any other one you want to refer to?
    16
    17   MS. STEEL:   I wanted to turn to page 3 of the second statement
    18        now and go through the ones that are listed there.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Very well.  What do you want to look at
         next?
    22
    23   MS. STEEL:   I do not think we have the first one there.  I am
    24        not sure if that is one of the ones that Geoffrey Cannon
    25        was providing copies of.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Mr. Cannon referred to the chief medical
    28        officer for Scotland.  I have that report and Professor
    29        Crawford has referred to it.
    30
    31   MS. STEEL:   I will leave out the first one because I do not
    32        think we have a copy, but Professor Crawford could confirm
    33        that is what the guidelines were.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You have not got the National Cancer
    36        Institute USA Dietary Guidelines?
    37
    38   MS. STEEL:   No.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Not yet.  Leave that over then.
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   OK.  Going on to the British Nutrition
    43        Foundation's Task Force on unsaturated fatty acids, have
    44        you a copy of that, of the relevant page you wanted to
    45        refer to?
    46        A.  I think I quote from it.
    47
    48   Q.   You have quoted from the part you want.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We have not got a copy of that here either. 
    51 
    52   MS. STEEL:   There is a copy here.  As a matter of interest, 
    53        who are the British Nutrition Foundation?
    54        A.  The British Nutrition Foundation is an organisation
    55        which was created by the food industry in the United
    56        Kingdom with the aim of advising the food industry and
    57        promoting research on food and nutrition.  And also,
    58        I believe, it has as its aims, or certainly does advise
    59        government and attempts to arrange conferences to discuss
    60        matters of importance so that they can be published and
