g) Disposals - impact on operating profit
The Group's operating profit in 2001 and 2000 from ongoing business 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 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:
