2 MR. RAMPTON: 23rd November 1989.
3
4 MS. STEEL: I have got the 16th.
5
6 MR. RAMPTON: 23rd November, 1989. It is the typewritten note
7 you have got there, Mr. Gravett?
8 A. Yes.
9
10 MS. STEEL: Is that definitely page 36?
11
12 MR. RAMPTON: It is 37.
13
14 MS. STEEL: It has come up as 36 on the transcript.
15
16 MR. RAMPTON: I would like you to look at the middle paragraph,
17 which says:
18
19 "Paul Gravett has said that he is going to write and
20 publish a pamphlet on the facts against McDonald's although
21 no date was given as to when he expected this to be
22 finished".
23 A. Yes.
24
25 Q. Then it goes on:
26
27 "The pamphlet is intended for sale and Paul stated that it
28 would go out under the London Greenpeace name rather than

36 to publish it as a London Greenpeace pamphlet, yes.
37

39
40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think you have answered the question, but
41 Mr. Rampton was specifically asking you whether it was your
42 intention that it would be published under the London
43 Greenpeace name?
44 A. Yes.
45
46 Q. Did you understand that?
47 A. I did, yes.
48
49 Q. You accept that, do you?
50 A. Yes. I mean, London Greenpeace, there were many
51 different leaflets published under the London Greenpeace
52 name throughout the period I was involved in the group. It
53 was not assumed that those leaflets represented the views
54 of everyone in the group. It was a broad spectrum of
55 opinion, as I have always stated, within the group on many
56 different subjects. And I think what is also important is
57 that this pamphlet was never published.
58
59 MR. RAMPTON: No, I understand that it was not.
60 A. And that, I think, gives you an indication of the low
