       Capita confirms role to support the implementation & operation of
           the Western Extension Zone of the London Congestion Charge

The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, today announced that he has now signed the
legal orders to extend the London Congestion Charging Scheme to the Western
Extension Zone (WEZ), with an expected go-live date of February 2007.

As announced previously, Capita signed a supplemental agreement with Transport
for London (TfL), the Mayor's transport agency, in February 2005 concerning an
option to extend certain existing services to support the delivery of the WEZ
Scheme, subject to its confirmation. This option will now be taken up. TfL will
pay Capita £17.7m for the set up and implementation of the WEZ scheme and, in
its first year of operation, £6.9m plus volume related charges for administering
the WEZ scheme.

This follows over two years of Capita operating the Congestion Charge Scheme for
TfL. Capita introduced the original Scheme to TfL's specification on time and to
budget in February 2003. Capita administers the Scheme in accordance with TfL's
requirements and is consistently meeting all key service standards. The original
contract has a duration of five years to February 2008. TfL has an option to
extend both these arrangements with Capita for a further two years.
