Day 119 - 02 May 95 - Page 06

     
     1        care -- all of those things were introduced in my day.
     2
     3   Q.   All those matters are not strict Operations though, are
     4        they, those matters?  They are not part of the inherent job
     5        description?
     6        A.  They would be administered by the Operations
     7        Department.  The Personnel Department is fairly small.  It
     8        is there to make recommendations.
     9
    10   Q.   So were there any things which you recommended to
    11        Operations which would actually improve working conditions
    12        on the job in the stores?
    13        A.  I cannot think of one off the top of my head.
    14
    15   MR. MORRIS:  I think now may be an appropriate moment to show
    16        the  "One Every Mile" video, if that is acceptable to the
    17        court?
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Have you made arrangements for this?
    20
    MR. MORRIS:  It is in court; the Plaintiffs have a copy.  It has
    22        not been lined up or anything.  It is at the start.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What are you doing?  Are you going to ask
    25        Mrs. Brinley-Codd if she would be kind enough to help you
    26        on it?  If you could ask her before we start or the night
    27        before, if she would be kind enough to help, would she mind
    28        doing it.
    29
    30   MR. MORRIS:  I am sorry.  I apologise for assuming that.  If
    31        there is any problem, then Ms. Steel can help.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  By all means ask Ms. Steel to do it instead
    34        or arrange it amongst yourselves in some way.
    35
    36   THE WITNESS:  I beg your pardon, my Lord.  It is important I see
    37        this?
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Would you like to follow what we have
    40        done previously, Mr. Nicholson?  What is it called?
    41
    42   MR. MORRIS:  It is called "One Every Mile".  It is a film made
    43        for Channel 4, I think, and we have a witness who was the
    44        researcher for the programme, Anne Tobin.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just pause a moment.  We are accumulating
    47        videos.  I would like each side to make a list of the
    48        videos which they rely on, relating them to the witness's
    49        evidence during which they were shown, and just giving a
    50        one or two-line summary of the subject matter, so that at 
    51        the end of the day, or before the end of the day, I know 
    52        that I have them all in my mind. 
    53
    54   MR. RAMPTON:  It would be very helpful, my Lord, because, of
    55        course, their relevance and admissibility may well vary
    56        from one to the other.
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They may well do, but it seems to me the
    59        start is to have a comprehensive list.  I do not think one
    60        side or the other should make the complete list.  Each side
