Day 237 - 18 04 96 - Page 15
1 A. As I said, that was not my decision, and I do not think
2 that it was anything to do with -- the taking of
3 photographs was anything to do with taking legal action at
4 that time.
5
6 Q. But you are hazy on that; you do not really remember?
7 A. I am hazy. If I look at these now, I think this was me
8 who took these photographs, but it was at the start of the
9 meeting, because I seem to remember a telephoto lens that I
10 had at that time.

12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Which ones are those?
13
14 MS. STEEL: In tab 4.
15
16 THE WITNESS: In tab 4.
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The ones in 4?
19 A. Yes, my Lord. I have not seen them for at least four
20 or five years.
21
22 MS. STEEL: When the photographer was taking photographs, most
23 of the time were you standing with them?
24 A. I was mostly, as far as I remember, on top of the steps
25 of the old building but, I admit, I probably did move
26 around a bit but I certainly was not far from that area.
27
28 Q. Did you give them any particular instructions to photograph
29 myself and Mr. Gravett whom you said you identify?
30 A. No.
31
32 Q. In paragraph (10) of your statement you said that you were
33 present throughout the demonstration together with two
34 members of the Company Security Department and two members
35 of the Uni-Trust Security Company were also present. Who
36 were the two members of the Company Security Department who
37 you are talking about there?
38 A. It was Mr. Laurie and Mr. Roots and I think
39 Mr. Hornblower put in an appearance as well. He would have
40 replaced one of the others.
41
42 Q. What about the Uni-Trust Security Company, were they
43 involved in taking photographs or videos or anything?
44 A. No, not at all. They are the company we employed to
45 look after the security of the Head Office and they were
46 brought in -- an extra one was brought in for the purpose
47 of the demonstration.
48
49 Q. Is there video surveillance equipment at the Head
50 Office ---
51 A. No.
52
53 Q. -- observing what is going on round the outside of the
54 premises?
55 A. There are security cameras on the outside of the
56 premises, yes.
57
58 Q. That is what I meant, maybe I did not phrase it right.
59
60 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Were there then?
