     2   MS. STEEL:   If you want read through that.
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL: No.  Let me get there first.
     5
     6   MS. STEEL:  It is just that the witness could be reading it.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL: "208", you say?
     9
    10   MS. STEEL:  "208", yes.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.  I was thrown because I saw the
    13        leaflet and I forget that the correspondence was behind
    14        it.  Yes.
    15
    16   MS. STEEL:  (To the witness): Would you just read through that?
    17        A.  (Pause) Yes.
    18
    19   Q.   Do you remember this letter being sent?
    20        A.  I remember a letter being sent.  I cannot remember the
    21        contents of it.  I take it that it was this letter.
    22
    23   Q.   This is the letter that was sent on your instruction?
    24        A.  Apparently.
    25
    26   Q.   Right.  There is also a letter dated 23rd November 1987
    27        from Barlow Lyde & Gilbert again.  That letter would have
    28        been under your instructions as well, yes, if you want to
    29        have a quick read through it?
    30        A.  (Pause) Yes.
    31
    32   Q.   That answer to "this was a letter written under your
    33        instructions" was a "yes"; was it?
    34        A.  I really am not sure, it must have been.  I cannot
    35        remember it.
    36
    37   Q.   You were the person who dealt with it?
    38        A.  I was the person who dealt with it, yes, so obviously
    39        Barlows would discuss it with me before I sent a letter
    40        like that and I would approve it.
    41
    42   Q.   Right, and the same would go for the letter on 8th December
    43        1987?
    44        A.  Yes.  Well, clearly, I would have been asked by
    45        Barlows.  They would have perhaps recommended a strong
    46        letter of action because of the reaction to our letters,
    47        and I would have agreed it.
    48
    49   Q.   Right.  Then if you turn to the letter from Barlow Lyde &
    50        Gilbert dated 6th May 1988? 
    51        A.  Yes? 
    52 
    53   Q.   If you just read through that one.
    54        A.  (Pause) Yes. I seem to be short of a page.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We have only got that one page.
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:  Perhaps I can hand up the last page.  I do not know
    59        why nobody has it actually.
