1 documentation.
2 Q 3 If I could have page 583 please. This is an extract from the minutes of the
3 meeting of the 29th September 1993, Mr. McGlynn. And it refers to the lands at

22 A Correct.
23 Q 7 But it was the same letter?
24 A Correct.
25 Q 8 But there were 2,530 different signatures, so by saying a round robin, as I
26 understood it, what we would have been talking about here was a number of pages
27 stapled together with a submission at the top and everybody simply signed their
28 name.
29 A Well, that would be generally treated as one submission. It was only a
30 petition, signed by a number of people. If you receive a letter from an
