     1        photograph of what in its real state it looks like.  I am
     2        not saying it is the same document, is that it?
     3        A.  Yes.
     4
     5   Q.   With some what looks like -----
     6        A.  Nutrition Information.
     7
     8   Q.   Nutrition Information.  We do not have in this file, but
     9        everybody has seen and I hope everybody has a copy of, is
    10        that which is a smaller leaflet called "A Question of
    11        Balance"?
    12        A.  Yes.
    13
    14   Q.   Do you recognise that from where you are?
    15        A.  I do
    16
    17   Q.   I do not have to pass it up to you?
    18        A.  No, I recognise it.
    19
    20   Q.   This one is dated January 1984.
         A.  Right.
    22
    23   Q.   So is this one.  These two documents are documents,
    24        leaflets, for which are you responsible now; is that right?
    25        A.  The Communications Department is responsible and they
    26        are responsible to me, yes.
    27
    28   Q.   One is called Nutrition Information; the other is called
    29        "A Question of Balance".  Firstly, to satisfy Ms. Steel's
    30        anxieties, are these documents available to the public or
    31        not?
    32        A.  Yes, they are.
    33
    34   Q.   How does a member of the public go about acquiring one or
    35        both?
    36        A.  There is a board sited adjacent to the front counter
    37        normally in almost every restaurant where all kinds of
    38        information is available, including these leaflets.
    39
    40   Q.   What is the reason why that information is provided?  Does
         the customer have to pay for those leaflets?
    42        A.  No, they do not; they are all available free.
    43
    44   Q.   What is the reason why those leaflets are provided free of
    45        charge to customers, if they should want to read them?
    46        A.  Well, we believe that a customer has a right to know
    47        the ingredients of the products they are eating and also
    48        the nutritional information.
    49
    50   Q.   This one, "A Question of Balance", I can tell you again 
    51        without your having to look at it, contains some 
    52        nutritional analysis on the back page, do you see, in those 
    53        columns?  I expect you are very familiar with it?
    54        A.  Yes.
    55
    56   Q.   But it also contains what one might call advice about
    57        lifestyle and diet.
    58        A.  Yes, it does.
    59
    60   Q.   What is the reason for that advice in this document?
