46. Pension scheme<br />
The Company is a member of the Group’s pension scheme, details of which are given in note 27.<br />
It is not practical for the Company to identify its share of the scheme assets and liabilities on a consistent and reasonable basis.<br />
Accordingly as permitted by FRS 17, ‘Retirement benefits’, the Scheme has been accounted for in these Company <strong>financial</strong><br />
<strong>statements</strong> as if the Scheme was a defined contribution scheme.<br />
The latest full actuarial valuation was carried out as at December 2006 and was updated for FRS 17 purposes to 26 October <strong>2008</strong><br />
by a qualified independent actuary. Certain Employees are Members of a Company defined contribution scheme which invests<br />
funds in which the contributions for each individual member are separately identifiable and the benefits calculated accordingly.
