Directors' Notification of Dealing in Shares

Legal & General Group PLC
6 June 2000


A. W. Palmer, an executive director of Legal & General Group Plc ('Group'), is
a participant in the Group long-term incentive arrangements for executive
directors and senior managers called the Performance Share Plan.  Under this
Plan the individual receives the financial benefit of shares dependent upon
the Group total shareholder return (TSR) compared with the FTSE 100, measured
over a three year period.

Over the period from 1 June 1997 to 31 May 2000, the TSR of the Group was the
29th  best in the FTSE 100.  Under the terms of the Plan, a multiple of 3.1
was applied to the performance shares awarded in 1997, which matured on 1 June
2000.  The benefit of these performance shares generated an immediate tax
charge for the individual, who could have received that benefit in cash or
ordinary shares in the Group.

A. W. Palmer's financial entitlement under the 1997 PSP was 57,015 ordinary
shares, the benefit of which he received in cash of £96,854.23.  The cash
benefit was calculated as a price 169.875p per ordinary share (defined by tax
legislation as the equivalent to the market value on 1 June 2000).

The Group's long-term incentive and share option schemes are described in
detail in the 1999 Report and Accounts.

Following the above reported transaction A. W. Palmer's beneficial holding of
ordinary shares in the Group at 6 June 2000 was 225,539.
