     4                         DR. ARNOTT, Recalled.
     5             Cross-Examined by the Defendants, continued.

     7   MR. MORRIS:  There are just three documents to serve this
     8        morning which I have served on the other side ----
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    11
    12   MR. MORRIS: -- to put in your files.  I will hand them up.  The
    13        first one is just what might be called a CV of Dr. David
    14        Wright.  The second one, the report wanted yesterday, Diet
    15        and Chronic Degenerative Diseases Prospective study from
    16        China by T. Colin Campbell, our Civil Evidence Act Notice
    17        witness.  This is a summary he wrote of it for publication
    18        in 1994.  The actual report is 900 pages, so I do not
    19        propose to get that out unless it is absolutely
    20        essential.  So hopefully that is -----
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will put that behind his statement.  Are
    23        you going to put any more of it to Dr. Arnott?
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  I do not think so.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are not obliged to.  We will see what
    28        Mr. Rampton wants to do, if anything, about that.
    29
    30   MR. MORRIS:  If he brings it up, maybe we can just come back on
    31        it if there are any thoughts on it.  The other thing is a
    32        substantial extract, a relevant extract, from the World
    33        Health Organisation Report 1990.  I think it is just a
    34        relevant extract; obviously, it is a massive report on
    35        diet related chronic diseases.  I am sorry I have not the
    36        front sheet.  I did not do this myself.  I do not know
    37        where we should put that.  We could put it behind
    38        Dr. Arnott's references.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I suggest we do for the moment.
    41
    42   MR. MORRIS:  I think that is all on documents.
    43
    44   MS. STEEL (To the witness):  I just wanted to come back a bit
    45        on some of the things you said previously.  When Mr.
    46        Rampton was asking you, you gave the relationship between
    47        cigarette smoking and lung cancer on a scale of one to
    48        ten.  Was that the proven causal relationship you were
    49        talking about?
    50        A.  I would say that it is -- there is good evidence that 
    51        there is a causal relationship between cigarette smoking 
    52        and lung cancer. 
    53
    54   Q.   Because you were not actually asked that initially; it was
    55        after that question that you were asked that.
    56        A.  It is not all forms of lung cancer.  This is
    57        important.  I do not want to make the thing more
    58        complicated from a scientific point of view, but lung
    59        cancer, there are about four different kinds of lung
    60        cancer.  You categorise these depending on when you look
