Directors' responsibility statement

The Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2010 contains a
responsibility statement in the form set out below:

"The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report, Directors'
remuneration report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable
law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare such financial statements for
each financial year. Under that law the directors are required to prepare group
financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and Article 4 of the IAS
Regulation and have chosen to prepare the parent company financial statements
in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
(United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the
directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the
profit or loss of the company for that period.

In preparing the parent company financial statements, the directors are
required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed subject
to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

In preparing these financial statements, International Accounting Standard 1
requires that the directors:

• properly select and apply accounting policies;

• present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides
relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information;

• provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements
in IFRSs are insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of
particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity's financial
position and financial performance; and

• make an assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are
sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and
enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies
Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company
and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud
and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the
corporate and financial information included on the company's website.
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination
of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:

• the financial statements, prepared in accordance with the relevant financial
reporting framework, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities,
financial position and profit or loss of the company and the undertakings
included in the consolidation taken as a whole; and

• the management report, which is incorporated into the directors' report,
includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and
the position of the company and the undertakings included in the consolidation
taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that they face."
