     1   Q.   And page 685?
     2        A.  Yes, I can see the point you are going to make without
     3        looking at a better copy.

     5   MR. MORRIS:  It is the fourth paragraph?
     6        A.  It says:  " ... paper towels as well as stationery at
     7        our Head Office", yes.
     8
     9   MS. STEEL:   "McDonald's is already the largest user of recycled
    10        paper in the quick-service restaurant industry:  we use it
    11        for non-food containment such as Happy Meal boxes, napkins
    12        and paper towels as well as stationery at our Head Office"?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   Q.   "Waste stationery paper is also being collected for return
    16        to a recycler"?
    17        A.  Right.
    18
    19   Q.   So you were using this for PR purposes?
    20        A.  McDonald's was.  What I said was "not to my knowledge";
         I do not recall this.
    22
    23   Q.   Right, but I think you did assert that there would be no
    24        public benefit in making that change?
    25        A.  I do not feel it is a public benefit.
    26
    27   Q.   It is a PR benefit, is it not?
    28        A.  It is a PR benefit, yes.
    29
    30   Q.   This leaflet was produced in June 1990.  I think that was
    31        just a couple of months after you changed over, was it not,
    32        or not very long after?
    33        A.  It appears so, yes.
    34
    35   Q.   I presume this leaflet would have taken some time to
    36        prepare? .
    37        A.  I do not know.
    38
    39   Q.   Drafting up?
    40        A.  I was not involved with this department in 1990, and I
         do not know how long this particular leaflet was in
    42        preparation.
    43
    44   Q.   This leaflet -- perhaps you can confirm -- was available in
    45        all stores, was it not, or made available to all stores?
    46        A.  I think so, yes.
    47
    48   Q.   We have finished with Volume V for the moment.

    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, thank you. 
    51 
    52   MS. STEEL:   Mr. Oakley, you said that where packaging was not 
    53        available in one country, you said that packaging gets
    54        supplied from different locations in Europe to all sorts of
    55        other areas of Europe?
    56        A.  Right.
    57
    58   Q.   That is right, yes.  Where some packaging is not available
    59        in one country it would be supplied from another country?
    60        A.  For packaging there is a number of European sources for
