                                                   KIM MOFFATT, Examined:
 
 
 
     1
     2   MR. RAMPTON:  You tell us in your statement -- my Lord, the
     3        reference is paragraphs 3 and 4 -- that 18-year-olds
     4        working past midnight did happen, you think, occasionally,
     5        while Mark Riley was the Manager?
     6        A.  Yes.
     7
     8   Q.   Also, it happened perhaps more frequently during
     9        John Nevison's time?
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   But not under Dave Roberts?
    13        A.  No.
    14
    15   Q.   What was it that led you to think that it was happening
    16        more frequently under John Nevison for the few months that
    17        he was Manager, than it had been under Mark Riley?
    18        A.  I think, perhaps, John was not as strict as perhaps
    19        Mark, and definitely not Dave; so perhaps, under pressure,
    20        the Managers might have let some; whereas with Mark or
    21        Dave, it just was not an option; I think perhaps a bit more
    22        lax.
    23
    24   Q.   We know from another restaurant, Miss Moffatt, that there
    25        are or there were at that restaurant things called excesses
    26        zero hour sheets which are printed out, I think, by the
    27        computer?
    28        A.  Yes.
    29
    30   Q.   Did you have those at Heathrow?
    31        A.  Yes.
    32
    33   Q.   We notice, also, that if somebody is doing excess hours and
    34        is under 18, that the computer actually says what the age
    35        of the person is?
    36        A.  Yes.
    37
    38   Q.   Did you inspect those excess hour sheets?
    39        A.  Yes.
    40
    41   Q.   How often, roughly speaking I mean, during John Nevison's
    42        time did you notice that there were under-17s doing excess
    43        hours?
    44        A.  I would say about two or three.
    45
    46   Q.   Under-18s, sorry.
    47        A.  I would say, obviously, it was the same sort of people,
    48        and perhaps two or three times a week.
    49
    50   Q.   Would they tend to be full-timers or part-timers? 
    51        A.  Part-timers, mainly. 
    52 
    53   Q.   In relation to a part-timer -----
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I did not even know what excess hours are
    56        yet.
    57
    58   MR. RAMPTON:  That is what I am going ask.  (To the witness) In
    59        relation to a part-timer, what does excess hours mean?
    60        A.  They are allowed to work 20 hours a week.  Obviously,
 
                                      22
