     1        A.  It publishes a newsletter which is circulated to those
     2        members, those organisations, who have endorsed the
     3        recommendations.  It is proposing to publish a monitoring
     4        survey -- I think I mentioned yesterday a monitoring
     5        survey -- a further monitoring survey, that was carried out
     6        earlier this year; that has not been published yet.  It
     7        does publish other reports which are involved with its
     8        other projects.  Because I am not involved in those other
     9        projects, I can only give more general information, rather
    10        than specific; for example, on its "Get Cooking" project.
    11
    12   Q.   Can I ask you:  when do you think that latest survey will
    13        be completed?
    14        A.  The intention was to publish it before the end of the
    15        year.
    16
    17   Q.   This document, which his Lordship had earlier today and
    18        I am afraid I took back from him, is called Living Earth &
    19        Food Magazine.  This is the October 1994 issue; it costs
    20        £3.50.  It is Issue 27, Volume 3.  It used to be just Food
         Magazine on its own, did it not?
    22        A.  Yes.  Food Magazine is now jointly published with the
    23        Soil Association's magazine, which is called "Living
    24        Earth".
    25
    26   Q.   What is the Soil Association?
    27        A.  It says inside the cover there exactly what the Soil
    28        Association is.
    29
    30   Q.   Do you have an original one?  Shall I read it out to save
    31        time?
    32
    33        "The Soil Association exists 'to research develop and
    34        promote sustainable relationships between the soil, plants,
    35        animals, people and the biosphere, in order to produce
    36        healthy food and other products while protecting and
    37        enhancing the environment.'"
    38
    39        Can I ask you about that, Ms. Dibb?  Do you take the words
    40        "healthy food" in that context to have a different meaning
         from the one that we were discussing earlier?
    42        A.  I cannot say what the Soil Association intended to mean
    43        by the use of the word "healthy" in there.
    44
    45   Q.   Can I pass you up this copy?  I apologise for the fact
    46        that, while it has been in Mrs. Brinley-Codd's possession,
    47        it has been eaten by some mice.  But there it is.
    48        A.  I have a copy.
    49
    50   Q.   My Lord, I have copies of the pages in this magazine to 
    51        which I am now about to refer.  Having, as it were, 
    52        confiscated your Lordship's original, there is one each for 
    53        the Defendants.
    54
    55        (To the witness)  This is the October 1994 -- in other
    56        words, last month's -- edition.
    57
    58        Can you turn over, please, to what I call the introductory
    59        page, contents page; and do we see that in the left-hand
    60        column, right towards the bottom, the co-directors of
