(g) Disposals - impact on operating profit
The Group's operating profit in 2001 and 2000 from continuing operations
excludes the result from the United States general insurance business and
London Market operations. All other disposals and businesses in the process of
being sold are not considered sufficiently material to merit separate
disclosure in the Group results or do not meet the Financial Reporting
Standard 3, 'Reporting Financial Performance', definition of discontinued
business. A summary of the contribution to the Group's operating profit from
these operations is as follows:

(h) Pension schemes
FRS17 'Retirement benefits' was issued in November 2000 but will not be
mandatory for the Group and the Company until the year ended 31 December 2003.
Prior to this, phased transitional disclosures are introduced and the table
below is an extract from these disclosures. FRS17 differs from the existing
accounting standard for pension costs (SSAP24) in a number of ways,
principally the choice of assumptions, and that the difference between the
market value of assets and the liabilities is immediately recognised in the
balance sheet under FRS17, whereas changes in assets and liabilities are
recognised on a smoothed basis under SSAP24. The effect on the Group net
assets and retained profits at 31 December 2001 of substituting the above
FRS17 figures for the corresponding SSAP24 balance sheet would be as follows:
Net

Total included in the Group accounts 12,523
