     2
     3   Q.   By you?
     4        A.  Yes.
     5
     6   Q.   Have you looked at these statements and their attachments
     7        or appendices recently?
     8        A.  Yes, I have.
     9
    10   Q.   Are you satisfied that, so far as you can say, the contents
    11        of these statements are true?
    12        A.  Yes, I am.
    13
    14   Q.   I want to ask you very few questions.  We all know who you
    15        are so I am not going to ask you about that.  Can you turn
    16        to your first statement, please, to page 2 at paragraph 7,
    17        the second paragraph on the page?
    18        A.  Yes, I have it.
    19
    20   Q.   Where you tell us that you attended a demonstration,
    21        anti-McDonald's demonstration outside the Head Offices of
    22        McDonald's with one of your regional managers who took
    23        photographs on your instructions?
    24        A.  That is correct.
    25
    26   Q.   We know from your second statement that on subsequent
    27        occasions when these demonstrations were held with one
    28        exception on the 16th October of each year until 1993, the
    29        exception being 21st May 1991, photographs were taken and
    30        also on subsequent occasions to this one, video recordings?
    31        A.  That is correct, my Lord.
    32
    33   Q.   On whose instructions, and by whom, were those photographs
    34        and video recordings made?
    35        A.  They were taken on my instructions by people employed
    36        in my department or by myself.
    37
    38   Q.   Mr. Carroll, if you still have the second page of your
    39        first statement open in paragraphs 8, 9 and 10, you give an
    40        account in general terms of the demonstration on that date,
    41        16th October 1989.  Do you see that?
    42        A.  I do indeed.
    43
    44   Q.   In paragraph 11, you say that the demonstration broke up at
    45        about 6.30 pm?
    46        A.  That is correct, my Lord.
    47
    48   Q.   Then in paragraph 1 you tell us this:
    49
    50        "During the 2 to 3 hours that they were present, I observed 
    51        a number of members of the group hand out the leaflet 
    52        entitled 'What is wrong with McDonald's', a copy of which 
    53        is attached to this statement marked TEC2."
    54
    55        Then you go on:
    56
    57        "And I believe that several hundred leaflets were
    58        distributed that afternoon to people of all ages.  Some
    59        members of the public appeared to read the leaflet or cast
    60        their eye over the contents."
