     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  This really is comment now.
     4
     5   MR. MORRIS:  Okay.  You said you have not looked into reusables?
     6        A.  No.
     7
     8   Q.   So you do not know if it is necessary, do you?
     9        A.  I have heard comment on reusables.  I have not
    10        personally looked into it.
    11
    12   Q.   But you personally do not know if it is necessary?
    13        A.  I have heard a lot of comment on it, a lot of
    14        discussion on it, I have read papers on it, but it is not
    15        something I have looked into specifically because we have
    16        not needed to look into it.  I have to say our view of
    17        reusables is that it is unhygienic, it is not safe and
    18        certainly it is not energy efficient and you cause air
    19        pollution to some extent.  I do not really see a benefit in
    20        a reusable.
    21
    22   Q.   But you have not looked into it?
    23        A.  I have not looked into it.
    24
    25   Q.   McDonald's UK have not looked into reusables?
    26        A.  No, I have not.  McDonald's in Germany have, of course,
    27        but I have not personally.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  It may be a suitable time to break for lunch.  I am
    30        trying to think if there are any more questions on this
    31        issue.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just sit down because it would be helpful to
    34        know if we have got to the end of the packaging
    35        cross-examination.
    36
    37   MS. STEEL:  I think that is it on packaging.
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will resume at 2 o'clock.

    41                         (Luncheon Adjournment)
    42                                                    2.00 p.m.
    43
    44   MS. STEEL:  I actually just missed out a question I should have
    45        asked on packaging.  You have asserted that there are no
    46        problems with landfill, apart from when it gets full up and
    47        there is no room for you to put to your waste there any
    48        more?
    49        A.  As far as I am aware.
    50 
    51   Q.   Right.  You are not aware of problems with chemical seepage 
    52        and methane gas being given off? 
    53        A.  I am not.
    54
    55   Q.   Have you pink volume V?
    56        A.  Yes.
    57
    58   Q.   If you could turn to document 35 again?
    59        A.  Yes.
