Guinness Peat Group plc: Total voting rights: Correction to total issued share
capital of 1,146,182,605 and not 1,182,605 as previously stated in the
announcement made on 20 December 2006 at 10.31 am, RNS number 31190.


The fully amended text appears below:

"For the purpose of the transitional provisions of the Financial Services
Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, Guinness Peat Group plc ("the
Company") advises that the total number of its ordinary shares of 5p each in
issue as at the date of this notice, is 1,146,182,605.

The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.

The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 1,146,182,605.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required under the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules to notify their interest in, or a change to
their interest in, the Company.

This announcement is an update on the announcement made on 18 December 2006, and
results from the allotment of shares consequent upon an exercise of share
options."
