        Marks and Spencer Group plc ('Marks & Spencer' or 'the Company')
                             Appoints Joint Brokers


Following a review of its advisory relationships, Marks & Spencer today
announces the appointment of Citigroup and Morgan Stanley as joint brokers to
the Company.

Both banks will continue to provide corporate advisory services to Marks &
Spencer. As a result of the review, Cazenove will cease to act as the Company's
broker.

Stuart Rose, Chief Executive, Marks & Spencer, said:

'We have made this decision because we needed to simplify our advisory
arrangements. We would like to thank Cazenove for the high level of commitment
and skill they have shown to Marks & Spencer over many years.'
