Examination of Witnesses (Questions 5800
- 5819)
5800. MS JONES: Correct.
5801. CHAIRMAN: You would like something
else?
5802. MS JONES: Correct.
5803. CHAIRMAN: Have you got a text of
what you would like?
5804. MS JONES: I can get that photocopied
over lunch. I also have the copy which I sent to the Promoter
in 2006. The text deals specifically with the individual items.
I apologise, I did not realise you would all need copies of the
actual text.
5805. CHAIRMAN: I do not think we are
going to follow this. This is complicated legal stuff, and coming
from you it jolly well should be! I do not think we are going
to follow it unless we have got the rival texts in front of us.
5806. MS JONES: How would you like me
to deal with this? Would you like me to get the copies of the
text?
5807. CHAIRMAN: We have got the rest
of the day and we have got photocopying facilities in their Lordships'
House, if we adjourn now I am sure we can get the rival texts
ready so that we can look at them this afternoon. Would that be
alright?
5808. MS JONES: I can certainly do that.
5809. CHAIRMAN: If the Promoters did
draft any response in 2006 that will presumably be produced by
you, Mr Mould?
5810. MR MOULD: I am going to make enquiries
about that. What you do have, of course, is the up-to-date draft
Settlement Deed that we have promoted which is in the appendix
to your Information Paper D12. I gave you some references to that
document last week if you recall when I closed the case.
5811. CHAIRMAN: That is going to be one
of the things we have. Ms Jones's rival version is going to be
the other thing.
5812. MR MOULD: Indeed, so. I am obviously
all agog as to what that will say. Ms Jones will no doubt provide
me with a copy of that during the course of the next hour or so.
5813. CHAIRMAN: I believe we had better
leave the parties to get on with this exercise. I do not know
how long you think it will take; you must be allowed to have something
to eat as well. It is 12.25 now, could we deal with it at 2.30?
5814. MR MOULD: Yes, I would have thought
so. That is fine as far as I am concerned.
5815. CHAIRMAN: That is what we will
do, because we are not going to get any further on this basis
I promise you. We will adjourn until 2.30.
After the luncheon adjournment
5816. CHAIRMAN: Let us proceed. Ms Jones,
we have now got a copy of the original Deed of Settlement and
it has a number of amendments. I think these come from you?
5817. MS JONES: Correct.
5818. CHAIRMAN: Could you explain to
us exactly what you have done? First of all, you have put in manuscript
amendments.
5819. MS JONES: Yes.
