                   Westminster Group Plc: New contract Award
                      Perimeter Protection System - Kuwait


Westminster Group plc ('Westminster' or 'the Group'), the AIM listed supplier of
system solutions and products to the security, defence, fire protection and
safety markets worldwide, announces that it has been awarded a new contract to
provide a specialist perimeter protection system to a petrochemical production
plant in Kuwait.

The contract, valued at over 200,000 USD, involves the installation of a high
security, covert detection system, concealed below an area of 'no-mans-land'
between the two external perimeter fences. The system has been designed to
detect any movement by intruders trying to gain entry to the facility at any
point along the 2km perimeter fence and to pinpoint the exact location of the
intrusion to within a few metres. Information will be displayed in the central
control centre where action can then be taken to avert breaches of security.

Westminster will be undertaking this project in conjunction with its local
security partners, Groupe TCL. It is the first of a number of joint projects
expected in the region.

Commenting on the latest contract awards, Peter Fowler, Chief Executive of
Westminster Group, said:

'I am very pleased to be able to announce this latest contract award, especially
in view of the other awards recently announced. Westminster has started 2008 on
a very positive note with 1st quarter orders of £3.3million.'
