     1   Q.   -- crew turnover was 191 per cent?
     2        A.  Yes, I will accept that figure.
     3
     4   Q.   Do you happen to know what "Management training hiring
     5        success" means?  It is just before the dotted line.
     6        A.  No.  This is a report which emanates from what was my
     7        department, but I never got involved in the calculations.
     8
     9   Q.   I probably will not ask you many more questions.  I just
    10        want to have a quick look.  If we look at page 700?
    11        A.  Yes.
    12
    13   Q.   For March 1990, which is another relevant date for the
    14        case, crew turnover was 196.5 per cent?
    15        A.  Yes.
    16
    17   Q.   Is that correct?
    18        A.  Yes.
    19
    20   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I do not think they are monthly figures.
    21        I think that is a quarterly figure.
    22
    23   THE WITNESS:  It is a quarterly figure.
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, I am sorry.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They are quarterly, but they are annualised.
    28        So they are built up to an annual rate, on the face of it?
    29        A.  Yes, I think the purpose of this reporting is it goes
    30        in for every country in the world to Oakbrooks so that they
    31        can work out what the turnover figure for the entire
    32        organisation would be.
    33
    34   MS. STEEL:  You said in your statement that the higher rates of
    35        pay from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. and 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. are for
    36        antisocial hours; is that right?
    37        A.  Yes.
    38
    39   Q.   How long has it been the case that McDonald's does not pay
    40        overtime; has that always been the case?
    41        A.  To my knowledge -- to crew people?
    42
    43   Q.   To crew people.
    44        A.  Yes.
    45
    46   Q.   Yes.
    47        A.  To my knowledge, that has always been the case.
    48
    49   Q.   You said you did not need to pay overtime because the crew
    50        got enhanced rates for certain hours? 
    51        A.  That is right. 
    52 
    53   Q.   They should get overtime on top of that, should they not,
    54        on top of rates for enhanced hours, should they not?
    55        A.  No.
    56
    57   Q.   By law?
    58        A.  No.
    59
    60   Q.   Certainly in 1986 they should have done, should they not?
