     1        other thing is Mr. Rampton said he did not think Mr. Clark
     2        was available until April.  He has not said why he thinks
     3        that.  I do not know whether he could perhaps say why he
     4        thinks that?
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you want to say now?
     7
     8   MR. RAMPTON:  I do not mind.  That is my information is all
     9        I can say.  I assume that is what he said to
    10        Mrs. Brinley-Codd -- to Mr. Hill.
    11
    12   MS. STEEL:  When did he say that, please?
    13
    14   MR. RAMPTON:  Last week.
    15
    16   MS. STEEL:   We have been telephoning him and he has not said
    17        that to us, although he did seem -----
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are perfectly entitled to communicate
    20        with him.
    21
    22   MR. MORRIS:  I have spoken to him.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If you find out, if your information is that
    25        he can attend on a certain day, indeed the day which you
    26        have put him in for, let me know.
    27
    28   MR. MORRIS:  I will phone him in the break.
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  He is talking to you if you telephone him, is
    31        he?
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    34
    35   MS. STEEL:  If we get through.  We have got through on one
    36        occasion.  Is it possible to have a five-minute break to
    37        contact him now?
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, leave Mr. Clark over to this evening.
    40
    MS. STEEL:   If we could have a five-minute break anyway?
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Were you going to hand up anything?
    44
    45   MR. RAMPTON:  No.  What I have not done -- I am afraid I should
    46        have done it at the weekend but I did have other things to
    47        do -- I can take your Lordship through -----
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us just hear this and then -----
    50 
    51   MS. STEEL:  There was one thing that Dave forgot to mention, 
    52        when we originally asked about Easter we did ask for four 
    53        weeks and we will keep that as our request.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will come back to that.
    56
    57   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, if I am right -- I am afraid I have not
    58        copies to hand out at the moment, if that horror story
    59        should crystallize into reality -- and we did not finish
    60        our employment evidence in the end of July 31st and your
