     1
     2   Q.   So why did you say you will have them identified in due
     3        course?
     4        A.  As I have already said, it is a turn of phrase which
     5        I felt I should put in at that particular time.  In the
     6        event, when I sat down and thought about it, I did not
     7        think it was necessary.
     8
     9   Q.   Was that a decision of your own or was that a decision that
    10         ---
    11        A.  It was a decision ------
    12
    13   Q.   -- you made in consultation with anybody else?
    14        A.  It was a decision of my own.
    15
    16   Q.   Did you talk to anybody about it?
    17        A.  No.
    18
    19   Q.   Did you send a memo to Mr. Preston and Mr. Nicholson and
    20        Mrs. Brinley-Codd saying that you were not going to have
    21        them identified after all?
    22        A.  No.
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  Are you saying you did not intend to have them
    25        identified in due course?
    26        A.  I thought I had made it clear.  As far as I was
    27        concerned, at that particular time when I wrote the report,
    28        I felt it might be necessary.  When I thought about it
    29        I realised that it was not.  I decided against identifying
    30        them or trying to identify them.
    31
    32   Q.   You decided it was not necessary ---
    33        A.  Yes.
    34
    35   Q.   -- after you had your meeting with Patty Brinley-Codd, was
    36        it?
    37        A.  No.
    38
    39   Q.   You said you had a meeting with Patti Brinley-Codd
    40        immediately after this ------
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just refer to her as "Mrs. Brinley-Codd".
    43
    44   THE WITNESS:  It was not immediately, it was some time later.
    45
    46   MR. MORRIS:  You said a couple of days later after the
    47        demonstration?
    48        A.  Quite possibly, yes.  I do not know actually when
    49        I made that decision.
    50 
    51   Q.   This is written a couple days after the demonstration? 
    52        A.  Yes. 
    53
    54   Q.   You intended to have them identified in due course when you
    55        wrote this a couple of days after the demonstration, did
    56        you not?
    57        A.  I intended to at the time I wrote this report but, in
    58        the event, when I sat down to considered it, I considered
    59        it to be unnecessary and a waste of my time.
