     1        that we looked at which you will recall, I do not know,
     2        I mean, I may be wrong?
     3        A.  Which earlier leaflets?
     4
     5   Q.   "Good Food, Nutrition and McDonald's", do you see?  Say
     6        tab 5, for example, we can all see what it says there.
     7        A.  Yes, that is possible, yes.
     8
     9   Q.   Can you look at the page headed:  "What we put into our
    10        food", please, Mr. Oakley.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have not actually found -----
    13
    14   MR. RAMPTON:  I am sorry, it is in small print at the bottom of
    15        the page headed "Golden Rules for healthy eating" in tab 8.
    16        I hope your Lordship has the same -----
    17
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I have.  I was still looking at the
    19        first page.
    20
    MR. RAMPTON:  Yes.  Then the pages, I am afraid, my Lord, are in
    22        the wrong order because the booklet is headed, I think,
    23         "The facts about eating at McDonald's, Eating at
    24        McDonald's with nutrition in mind".  My Lord, the passage
    25        to which I have just referred is at the bottom of the
    26        page.
    27
    28        What I would like to ask you to look at, Mr. Oakley, is 59C
    29        again in small writing at the bottom above the date under
    30        the heading:  "What we put into our food.  McDonald's menu
    31        items were analysed by Leatherhead Food Research
    32        Association, Surrey, which is an independent research
    33        association.  The data in the chart have been calculated by
    34        Dr. Juliet Gray, BSc., PhD., SRD, an independent nutrition
    35        consultant.  McDonald's would like to acknowledge the help
    36        of the British Nutrition Foundation and the British
    37        Diabetic Association in considering and commenting on this
    38        publication."
    39
    40        What I would like you to answer, if you can, so far as you
         know, are those true statements which are made in this
    42        document?
    43        A.  As far as I know, yes.
    44
    45   Q.   Do you know when it was that Professor Wheelock took over
    46        from Dr. Juliet Gray as the independent nutritional
    47        consultant for McDonald's?
    48        A.  I cannot remember exactly -- probably the early 90s,
    49        certainly, yes.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you suggesting that she was the 
    52        independent nutritional consultant to McDonald's which was 
    53        the form of your question because, for all one knows, she
    54        might just have been called in for the purpose of that
    55        publication.
    56
    57   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, except she does appear on another one.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Or for particular purposes.
