2-7 That Sir Brian Jenkins, Stephen Russell, John Stewart, Sir Peter Middleton,
Christopher Lendrum and Peter Jarvis, retiring Directors, be re-elected

to an amount representing approximately 5% of the issued ordinary share
capital on 7 February 2001 other than on a pro rata basis to existing
shareholders.

for a period of up to five years without the need to dis-apply the
provision in Article 12 which previously restricted the period to 15
months.
13. To authorise the Company until the Annual General Meeting in 2002 to make
market purchases of up to an aggregate of 249,000,000 of its ordinary
shares of £1 each (less than 15% of the issued ordinary share capital as at
7 February 2001), subject to a prescribed maximum price.
14. To adopt new updated Articles of Association to change various references
from 'the London Stock Exchange' to 'the Financial Services Authority' and
