FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRE CLOSE TRADING STATEMENT

On 27th of November we issued a trading update and gave guidance on our outlook
for the next year.  Our views are  unchanged from the time of that statement.

Today we also announce that, in line with our stated strategy, we have made
three further surplus property sales this  month for a total consideration of
£10.0 million and realised a profit of £6.0 million on these sales.  This brings
proceeds from surplus property sales this year to £41.5 million and profits on
these sales to £15.3 million.  At the  current time we have surplus properties
under offer with estimated proceeds of £34 million and a book value of £19 
million.
