     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We have 31.
     2
     3   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I have 81 and 33 and nothing else.
     4
     5   MS. STEEL:   32 and 33 were handed together.
     6
     7   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, may I also make this clear, that I have
     8        two separate documents and I suspect they are different
     9        things.  It is awfully difficult to follow
    10        evidence-in-chief.  No doubt I can spend some time later
    11        on sorting it out.  One is called The Scottish Diet,
    12        Report of a Working Party to the Chief Medical Officer for
    13        Scotland, which has pages 32 and 33; the other is called
    14        Scotland's Health, A Challenge To Us All, which is marked
    15        by Professor Crawford in enclosure No. 3, December 1993;
    16        that has pages 81, then a repeat of page 33 of the
    17        previous document.
    18
    19   MS. STEEL:   It is the same document.  The black cover is the
    20        front cover and the following page is the next page in the
    21        book.
    22
    23   MR. RAMPTON:  It would help (while this is going on) if I could
    24        have a copy of the actual document so I am not trying to
    25        sort out, as I am listening, to what it is that is being
    26        referred to.
    27
    28   MS. STEEL:   We have already said there is a copy available in
    29        court.
    30
    31   MR. RAMPTON:  This should have been served some considerable
    32        time ago.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The black cover is an outer cover to the
    35        white sheet, is it?
    36
    37   MS. STEEL:   Yes.  It may be easiest if we put them together in
    38        the bundles.
    39
    40   THE WITNESS:  My intention was that the black cover should give
    41        you the title and provenance of the Scotland's Health
    42        document, and that pages 32, 33 and 81, which had relevant
    43        comments on it, all came from this one document.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just pause there.
    46        A.  They should all be stuck together in a way.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am going to put the white cover
    49        immediately behind the black one.  I have two sheets of
    50        pages 32 and 33. 
    51        A.  And 81. 
    52 
    53   MS. STEEL:   Do you want to go through the parts -- take it in
    54        order -- that you think are important to draw to the
    55        attention of the court?
    56        A.  Well, I think it is worth drawing your attention to
    57        the fact that this group of experts felt it appropriate to
    58        quote the World Health Organisation's Report on Diet,
    59        Nutrition and Prevention of Chronic Diseases in 1990, the
    60        implication being that they concurred with the World
