Directors' interests - Long Term Incentive Scheme (LTIS)

Centrica plc announces that on 19 April 2004, a total of 324,854 ordinary
Centrica shares of 5 5/9 pence each in Centrica plc were transferred from trust
by the trustees of the Long Term Incentive Scheme (LTIS) to participants of the
LTIS. All shares were transferred to former employees under the rules of the
scheme, in satisfaction of allocations following completion of the relevant
performance period.

The executive directors of the Company have not received any shares pursuant to
this release but being beneficiaries under the LTIS, as with other Centrica
group employees, their potential interest in the shares held and transferred by
the trust has been reduced accordingly.
