Day 255 - 23 May 96 - Page 06

     
     1        A.  Yes.
     2
     3   Q.   This does not appear to have stemmed from the
     4        London Greenpeace literature, does it?
     5        A.  I have no idea where they got their information from.
     6
     7   Q.   Right, but it has certainly gone into a lot greater depth,
     8        even if you just look at the length of it, than the
     9        London Greenpeace.  There are about 2 paragraphs on working
    10        for McDonald's in the London Greenpeace fact sheet,
    11        I think.
    12        A.  Well, yes, I cannot remember.  It certainly went into a
    13        great more detail than the London Greenpeace document did
    14        on employment matters.
    15
    16   Q.   So it appears that they did their own research and got
    17        their own information from other sources than
    18        London Greenpeace?
    19        A.  I cannot really answer that; I do not know.

    MR. MORRIS:  Can we just can say that Harriet Lamb has been in
    22        court and she gave evidence to that effect.  It was not
    23        challenged by ----
    24
    25   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord this is all ----
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Obviously I may be able to draw inferences
    28        for myself from looking at the documents.  If Mr. Nicholson
    29        has some special information, then you will hope that he
    30        will divulge it in answer to that kind of question, but if
    31        he says "I cannot say", unless you have some specific point
    32        to put to him, I suggest you just leave it there and it is
    33        then a matter of comment and you will say "it does not look
    34        at all like London Greenpeace".  It is just a question of
    35        how far the particular witness can take matters.
    36
    37   MS. STEEL:  This was the one that you got information from the
    38        Economic League about, was it not?
    39        A.  I certainly got information from the Economic League
    40        about it.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  About the leaflet?
    43        A.  About the pamphlet.  It was glossy.  It was an
    44        extremely well produced publication, and I certainly did
    45        get some information from the Economic League about them.
    46
    47   MS. STEEL:   Right.  You do not remember whether it was the
    48        Economic League that you got the pamphlet from in the first
    49        place, or whether it was just that you asked the Economic
    50        League to investigate them after you got the pamphlet? 
    51        A.  I am not sure.  It stemmed from The Guardian article. 
    52        The Guardian reproduced parts of this pamphlet before it 
    53        was actually released.
    54
    55   Q.   Right.  The Guardian article is the one in the next tab,
    56        tab 4.
    57        A.  Yes, because it is the same two people who co-authored
    58        the Transnational Information Exchange, Transnational
    59        Information Centre Limited Magazine, which is working for
    60        Big Mac.  They were the authors of that.  They were also
