The Company was notified on 3 July 2001 by the Plan Manager of the Barclays
Single Company PEP that on 28 June 2001 Mr C J Lendrum received 3 ordinary
shares in the Company at a price of 2198p per share as a result of the
dividend on the shares held in the PEP for Mr Lendrum being reinvested.



Following this transaction, Mr Lendrum has a total beneficial interest in
38,484 ordinary shares in Barclays PLC.



In addition to the interest shown above, the trustees of all the Barclays
Group employees' benefit trusts hold a total of 9,569,547 ordinary shares in
Barclays PLC.  Mr C J Lendrum, a Director of Barclays PLC, together with other
directors and senior executives, is amongst the potential beneficiaries under
these trusts and is therefore regarded for Companies Act purposes as being
interested in the Barclays PLC ordinary shares held in them.
