RE:      Transparency Directive's transitional provision 6                     

Diageo plc - Voting Rights and Capital

In conformity with the Transparency Directive's transitional provision 6 Diageo
plc (the "Company")would like to notify the market of the following:

The Company's issued capital consists of 2,999,290,510 ordinary shares with
voting rights, which includes 280,978,000 ordinary shares held in Treasury

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 2,718,312,510
and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FSA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
