Annual General Meeting - 18 July 1997

At the Company's Annual General Meeting today, shareholders approved the
Special Resolution for the Directors to be authorised as follows:

(i) Pursuant to Article 7 of the Company's Articles of Association and in
accordance with Section 80 of the Companies Act 1985 (the "Act") to allot
relevant securities (as defined in the said Section 80) ("relevant
securities") of the Company up to an aggregate nominal value of #175,000,000;
and

(ii) in exercise of such authority, and in accordance with Section 95 of the
Act and Article 8 of the Company's Articles of Association, to allot for cash
equity securities (as defined in Section 94(2) of the Act) ("equity
securities") of the Company as if Section 89(1) of the said Act did not apply
to any such allotment, provided that such power is limited:

(a) to the allotment of securities in connection with a rights issue in favour
of the holders of ordinary shares where the equity securities respectively
attributable to the interests of the ordinary shareholders are proportionate
(as nearly as may be) to the respective numbers of ordinary shares held or
deemed to be held by them but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements
as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient to deal with legal or
practical problems in respect of overseas shareholders, fractional
entitlements or otherwise; and

(b) to the allotment (other than pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) above) of
equity securities up to an aggregate nominal value of #35,000,000 and shall
expire on the date of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the
passing of this resolution, save that the company may before such expiry make
an offer or agreement which would or might require relevant or equity
securities (as the case may be) to be allotted after such expiry and the
Directors may allot such securities in pursuance of such offer or agreement as
if the power conferred hereby had not expired.

This is a standard resolution regarding the allotment of a limited number of
shares.  The Board has no current plans to allot shares except in connection
with the employee share schemes.
