DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST
The Company received notification on 7 October 2004 that Aviva plc and Morley
Fund Management Limited (a subsidiary of Aviva plc) have, following purchases
totalling 6,235,000 Ordinary shares in the Company on 6 October 2004, a material
interest of 39,125,162 Ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company, representing
3.05% of the issued share capital of the Company.
The shares are registered as follows:

Aviva plc is only required to notify interests which are defined as material
interests when the holding is equal to 3% or more of the Company's relevant
share capital. The term material interests excludes certain categories where
Aviva plc does not hold a beneficial interest, for example where the shares are
held in an Authorised Unit Trust Scheme or Open Ended Investment Company.
Holdings in those categories are therefore not included in the holding notified
to the Company.
