was imposed in June 1999, of 10% in the risk assessment computation used to

The sale of the Whittington Group, which was announced by Amlin in September
1999, has been successfully completed.

'The removal of the loading will allow us to utilise our capital efficiently
in a hardening market.  The sale of Whittington emphasises the Group's
commitment to focussing upon our underwriting activities.'
