     6   MS. STEEL:   I do not know whether this is a question for the
     7        witness or a question that perhaps the Plaintiffs'
     8        solicitors might be able to help with, but in the new
     9        document, the 'new brand audit research' dated July 1992,
    10        in tab 6, second part, on page 3 it refers to table 1 and
    11        table 2 in the methodology and sample part, and the first
    12        table that I can find in here is table 4.  So, I do not
    13        know where tables 1 to 3 are.

    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Page 3?
    16
    17   MS. STEEL:   Yes.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you mean the final report?
    20
    21   MS. STEEL:   The final report, yes.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you know about that?
    24        A.  No, I am just trying to--
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  I do not either.  I do not even know whether these
    27        documents were disclosed in whole or in part.  My belief is
    28        it is Mr. Atkinson who attended to that particular matter
    29        and it may be that he removed some material that was not
    30        relevant but made sense, as I understand it.  I do not
    31        know.
    32        A.  I think this was a document that we sent off to find
    33        when it was apparent there was a page missing from the
    34        original brand audit document.  This document is in its
    35        totality, this is what came to me initially from the
    36        research company and is what they had in their files.  It
    37        may not be complete, but it was all that we had and they
    38        had.  In our records the original document may well have
    39        contained more pages, but this was all they had, so we
    40        reproduced directly what they still had in their files.
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   When you saw it, presumably you would have seen
    43        table 1 and table 2 and table 3?
    44        A.  Presumably, when I saw it originally, yes.  Let me
    45        just--
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well, look, do not get bogged down.  If your
    48        evidence is that this is what you managed to find, that is
    49        your evidence.
    50 
    51   MS. STEEL:   The witness does not know if parts of it were 
    52        blanked out. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well?
    55        A.  They certainly were not blanked out.
    56
    57   MS. STEEL:   Not by you, by the solicitors.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  He thinks this is what they have got; it may
    60        not be complete, but it is what they have.  If that turns
