     1   MS. STEEL:  All the letters should be in tab 280.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would invite you to be extremely brief with
     4        the letters.  You do not need to refer to them because I
     5        have seen them once and I have read Mr. Smith's statement
     6        which you are going to take him through again.
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  You should have a supplementary statement.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have a supplement to statement, March 3rd
    11        1994.
    12        A.   That is not in this bundle.
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  And there should be a transcript of a radio debate
    15        behind that.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  Then there should be a further supplementary
    20        statement, 28th May 1996.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  And then there is tab 208, in which there is
    25        general material.  Is that the same as what you have
    26        there?
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    29        A.   The first supplementary statement and the transcript
    30        are not in this bundle.  I am very familiar with them.
    31
    32   MR. MORRIS:  No, I do not have it in my bundle, or a copy.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I suggest you kick off with the first one.
    35        If the second one, the supplement, is not found when you
    36        come to it, Mr. Smith can borrow mine.
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:  Right.  Can I just ask you a few background
    39        questions, Mr. Smith.  You are a worker at Veggies Limited;
    40        is that correct?
         A.  That is correct, yes.
    42
    43   Q.   And before you became a worker for Veggies Limited what
    44        were you doing?
    45        A.   I worked as a manager in various restaurants for Pizza
    46        Land in London, St. Albans, and finally in Nottingham.
    47
    48   Q.   You managed Pizza Land restaurants?
    49        A.  That is right.
    50
    51   Q.   And what practically does -- how long have you been
    52        involved with Veggies?
    53        A.   Since soon after it was formed in 1984.
    54
    55   Q.   Right.  And what practically does Veggies actually do?
    56        A.   The company runs a vegan food store on a daily street
    57        market in Nottingham.  It also produces frozen foods for
    58        wholesale to restaurants, cafes and pubs around Nottingham,
    59        and through that work raises funds for various educational
    60        campaigning and charity work both in the United Kingdom and
