     2
     3   Q.   Thank you.  Can you put that away?  You will have to
     4        retrieve that in due course.  Before you received a copy of
     5        that in 1987, were you aware of the existence of that
     6        leaflet do you think?
     7        A.  It is just possible I may have received one through the
     8        post, but the first one I received personally was outside
     9        of Head Office.
    10
    11   Q.   Do you remember how in October 1987 it came into your
    12        possession?
    13        A.  Yes, I walked through the demonstration and was handed
    14        one.
    15
    16   Q.   Thank you.  Mr. Nicholson, can you turn...  Immediately
    17        behind the photocopy of the leaflet complained of there
    18        should be a statement which you made recently, Mr.
    19        Nicholson?
    20        A.  Yes, I have it.
    21
    22   Q.   It has a slightly different typescript.  At the back on
    23        page 12 there is a signature?
    24        A.  Yes. That is my signature.
    25
    26   Q.   That is your signature.  It is dated 9th May this year?
    27        A.  Yes, that is correct.
    28
    29   Q.   Have you read this recently?
    30        A.  Yes, I have.
    31
    32   Q.   Ignoring for the moment, if you would not mind just looking
    33        at it, on page 4 (ii)?
    34        A.  Yes.
    35
    36   Q.   -- to which I am going to come back in a moment, the words
    37        in brackets at the end of paragraph 9 on page 6?
    38        A.  Yes.
    39
    40   Q.   And the whole of paragraph 11 on the same page?
    41        A.  Is bracketed.
    42
    43   Q.   Ignoring those passages, are the contents of this statement
    44        true?
    45        A.  They are.
    46
    47   Q.   If you go back to page 4, please, to (ii)?
    48        A.  Yes.
    49
    50   Q.   Can you tell me, in 1989 you have told us that you 
    51        instructed the inquiry agents -- September and early 
    52        October 1989? 
    53        A.  That is correct.
    54
    55   MS. STEEL:   Have we -- have you?
    56
    57   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, it has been verified in the statement.  It is
    58        paragraph 4.
    59
    60   MS. STEEL:   OK, thank you.  Sorry, I missed it.
