* The 'Number of Shares Acquired' includes 36 Partnership shares (Phil Bentley
received 37 partnership shares due to a slightly higher cash balance) acquired
at 342.75 pence per share and 18 Matching shares acquired at 344.83 pence per
share. Both Partnership and Matching elements are registered in the name of the
Trustee.

(2) They had transferred 15,724 ordinary shares of 6 14/81 pence each from
Lloyds TSB Registrars Corporate Nominee Limited AESOP1 (Allocated shares) to
Lloyds TSB Registrars Corporate Nominee Limited AESOP2 (Unallocated shares). The
transfer was made following the forfeiture of shares, under the rules of the
SIP, by participants who have left the group since the last purchase and the
shares had been used towards November's allocation of Matching shares. The
Directors listed above, together with some 5,447 other employees, are
participants in the Plan and are potentially interested in the remaining 16,638
shares held by Lloyds TSB Registrars Corporate Nominee Limited AESOP2 left
following the purchase.

The SIP operates as follows

    --  Each month the Trustee uses participants' contributions (which may not
        exceed £125 per participant per month) to purchase shares in the market.
        These shares are called 'Partnership Shares'.

    --  At the same time the Company allots to participants via the Trustee one
        'Matching Share' for every two partnership shares purchased that month
        (up to a maximum of 20 matching shares per month).

    --  Participants may change their monthly savings rate whenever they wish.
        However, Directors and others bound by the Company's Securities Dealing
        Code (the 'Code') may not make such a change during a close period or
        when otherwise prohibited from dealing by the Code.
