Day 055 - 25 Nov 94 - Page 34
1 mind made by Mr. Miles, which you would like Ms. Dibb to
2 answer, if she can.
3
4 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, might I add to that that there is not
5 very far that that line of question can go; it might only
6 be one question, I suspect; and that after that, with your
7 Lordship's approval, we should break off, because to make
8 five or six copies of a 20 page document takes a bit of
9 time. Then we could all get it at least in time for
10 two o'clock.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. That recommends itself to me. You can
13 actually have a look, as well. But what is the point of
14 interpretation which Mr. Miles made? I know I made one,
15 which was in relation to where concern came from and
16 strength of concern, and whether there was any qualitative
17 (as opposed to quantitative) question. Maybe Ms. Dibb will
18 deal with that, or maybe when we actually look at the
19 survey we will find what the answer is to that. But what
20 is the point which Mr. Miles made that you have in mind at
21 this moment?
22
23 MR. MORRIS: On question 1, there was a particular point.
24 I cannot remember whether it was yourself or Mr. Miles.
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. It was Mr. Miles who said he thought
27 "tougher restrictions" meant tougher than in relation to
28 advertising to adults, rather than tougher than they are at
29 the moment.
30
31 MR. MORRIS: Right -----
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If my memory serves me correctly.
34
35 MR. MORRIS: Yes. (To the witness) These are the actual
36 questions in the survey, are they not -- in your summary?
37 A. Yes.
38
39 MR. MORRIS: What does question 1 mean to you?
40
41 MR. RAMPTON: Well, I do not know what I am being asked to say.
42
43 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am going to stop it there. We will break
44 off now. We will get copies of this because, in the
45 survey, there is, presumably, a paragraph or two -- maybe
46 more -- which deals with this question and MORI's
47 interpretation of the answers to it. (To the witness) Is
48 that right?
49 A. I can report on that, yes.
50
51 Q. Since MORI have reported on it, we had better see what they
52 said.
53 A. Yes. But I have additional information.
54
55 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think we should do that. It is a very
56 indirect way to just have one person in court with the
57 actual document, giving her interpretation of it. No
58 disrespect to you, but there are better ways of doing
59 things.
