Directors' interests - Long Term Incentive Scheme (LTIS)

Centrica plc announces that on 20 April 2005, a total of 764,692 ordinary
Centrica shares of 6 14/81 pence each in Centrica plc were transferred from
trust by the trustees of the Long Term Incentive Scheme (LTIS) to participants
of the LTIS. All shares were transferred to former employees under the rules of
the scheme, in satisfaction of allocations following completion of the relevant
performance period.

The executive directors of the Company have not received any shares pursuant to
this release but being beneficiaries under the LTIS, as with other Centrica
group employees, their potential interest in the shares held and transferred by
the trust has been reduced accordingly.
