                          Pre close trading statement

Westminster Group Plc ('Westminster'), the AIM listed supplier of system
solutions and products to the security, defence, fire protection and safety
markets worldwide, is pleased to announce that enquiry levels from prospective
customers have been higher than anticipated and, in consequence, your board is
hopeful for a strong sales performance later in the year.

In the period from 1 June 2007 to 13 July 2007, Westminster received 169
enquiries and issued 95 quotations for, in aggregate, some £83 million. At 13
July 2007 Westminster's open quote book totalled some £370 million.

As stated in the Admission Document, the conversion of quotes to orders in the
first half of the current financial year was slower than originally anticipated.
However, given the current level of the open quote book the Westminster board
remains confident of a strong outcome for the year as a whole.

It is anticipated that the interim results for the six months to 30 June 2007
will be announced in the third week of September.
