1
2 Q. By what percentage, approximately?
3 A. Milton Keynes would be somewhere around 20 per cent
4 bigger than Scunthorpe.
5
6 Q. So it might be 60:40, something like that?
7 A. It is not a figure I have ever worked out as a
8 percentage.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: In fact, that would be 50 per cent bigger,
11 would it not?
12
13 MR. MORRIS: Yes, I suppose so.
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You mean a fifth as much again at Milton
16 Keynes?
17 A. Yes, sir.
18
19 MR. MORRIS: Right. (To the witness): When you export patties
20 to McDonald's abroad from the Milton Keynes plant, do you
21 export abroad from the Scunthorpe plant?
22 A. No.
23
24 Q. Just from the Milton Keynes plant?
25 A. Yes.
26
27 Q. So, basically, any McDonald's abroad would be getting
28 exactly the same patties as McDonald's UK would be getting?
29 A. Yes.
30
31 Q. No difference whatsoever?
32 A. There are some differences.
33
34 Q. Like what?
35 A. Well, that is only in the meat.
36
37 Q. In what way?
38 A. In what way?
39
40 Q. Yes. What are the differences?
41 A. For PR reasons, burgers going out to Holland have Dutch
42 meat in them. We make sure there is Dutch meat in them.
43 That is the only difference.
44
45 Q. Just one thing, if you remember there was a 1978 or 1979
46 specifications document found which, I suppose, if we can
47 go to it -- I do not know if we need to -- if you remember,
48 you said it seemed to be a US document with "England" on
49 the top? Do you remember?
50 A. Vaguely.
51
52 Q. It was subtab 5 behind your statement, I think. Can anyone
53 remember?
54
55 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, I know exactly where it is, my Lord. It is
56 in volume yellow XI at the back.
57
58 MR. JUSTICE BELL: "Destruction of the Environment"?
59
60 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, it is the last section of the whole file.
