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.
