3 FRANCIS ANTHONY JOHN STANTON, recalled.
4 Cross-Examined by the Defendants, continued.
5
6 MR. ATKINSON: Mr. Davies will be ready for 12 o'clock and
7 Mr. Rampton will be here around that time.
8
9 MS. STEEL: I wanted to go on to the schedule that I have drawn
10 up.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
13
14 MS. STEEL: I think there is a slight problem.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I see, the schedule you did of staffing
17 levels?
18
19 MS. STEEL: Yes.
20
21 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. I do not know whether it was put back
22 in the yellow -- you have it there.
23
24 MS. STEEL: (To the witness) You took one away with you last
25 night, did you?
26 A. I did.
27
28 Q. Was there anything you wanted to do that you felt was way
29 out and you wanted to correct?
30 A. I think, as I said yesterday, I would look at the
31 numbers of crew scheduled on the Friday, 12.00 till 2.00.
32 I think I said yesterday that 14 would be more appropriate.
33
34 Q. Yes.
35 A. I think that on the Saturday, 2.00 till 3.00, that we
36 would probably have -- continue the 25 through to there.
37
38 Q. You did say that it tapered off after 2 o'clock?
39 A. Certainly, but having a look at it and going back on my
40 experience probably 12.00 till 3.00 we would keep about 25,
41 and then probably go down to 20, 3.00 to 4.00, to keep it
42 even rather than have a significant drop there.
43
44 I think Sunday I would look 1.00 till 2.00 probably to make
45 it 10 rather than six; then 12.00 till to 1.00, eight
46 rather than six, just to give a gradual build up rather
47 than go from 6.00 to 12.00. But, overall, the numbers over
48 lunch time and those evening periods look pretty good to me
49 for the Leicester store.
50
51 Q. I think we have heard in the case so far that above 35
52 hours a week or 35 and above is considered full-time; is
53 that correct from your point of view?
54 A. Well, my experience is generally that people in terms
55 of being available full-time are usually available up to
56 39.
57
58 Q. Up to 39?
59 A. Yes.
