1 JOHN HAWKES, recalled
2 Cross-examined by the DEFENDANTS
3
4 MS. STEEL: I just wanted to ask, in your statement -- perhaps
5 you should get it out; it is yellow 6, tab 1. In
6 paragraph 6, you have given figures for advertising
7 expenditure, and you said that you have made minor
8 amendments to what was in Michael Hayden's statement. I
9 just wondered why it was that he and you had different
10 figures?
11 A. Well, what I did, basically, when I was asked to look
12 at this statement to see if I agreed with it, I asked our
13 advertising agency to check all of the numbers in that,
14 which is the only way I can get at these figures, which I
15 asked them to do; and they came up with the figures that I
16 have in my statement.
17
18 Q. So you did not work them out yourself?
19 A. No. They came from the advertising agency.
20
21 Q. Do you know where Michael Hayden got his figures from?
22 A. I do not, though I suspect it would have been the same
23 area. I do not know why there is the difference. They
24 were fairly marginal, I believe.
25
26 Q. Are the figures that you have got there a percentage of
27 total advertising that is directed at children, or are they
28 television advertising?
29 A. As far as I can recall, that is television.
30
31 Q. Just television?
32 A. Yes.
33
34 Q. Do you know that, or not?
35 A. It is as far as I can recall, it is, yes. I think that
36 would make the most sense of the figures.
37
38 Q. So you do not actually know?
39 A. If you are going to ask me to say 100 percent, then I
40 would not say that, but I am 99 percent certain that they
41 are just television figures.
42
43 Q. Also, Mr. Hayden has got down 1986 where the figure is 31.7
44 percent. You did not put that in your statement. But do
45 you recognise that that -- I mean, is that a figure you
46 accept?
47 A. Where was that? Sorry.
48
49 MS. STEEL: In page 2 of Mr. Hayden's statement.
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Page 5 of that section -- we have been on
52 page 2 -- there is a figure for 1986.
53 A. Again, as far as I can recall, that was simply because
54 that figure did not change.
55
56 Q. That was? Keep your voice up.
57 A. Sorry. It was because the figure did not change. That
58 is the only reason I can see that we did not include it.
59
60 MS. STEEL: Also in paragraph 6, would that just be for the
