Legal & General Group PLC
03 December 2003

Legal & General Group Employee Share Plan ('the Plan')

In common with all eligible employees, each of the executive directors of Legal
& General Group Plc ('Group') have been invited to apply for partnership shares
under the Plan on a monthly basis. On 1 December 2003 each executive director
chose to contribute to purchase the following partnership shares:


                                Partnership Shares
C. R. R. Avery                  124
T. J. Breedon                   124
A.W. Palmer                     124
R. A. Phipps                    124
D. J. Prosser                   124


The Group matched these shares, on a one-to-one basis, up to £20 per month.
Accordingly, each executive director received 20 matching shares, with the
exception of R. A. Phipps who received 19 matching shares due to rounding
differences. The shares were purchased at a price of 100.75p per share.

Following these awards, the executive directors' current beneficial holdings in
the Group now stand at:
C. R. R. Avery                  692,207
