Further details on derivative financial instruments are provided in note 19. The index-linked swap is classified under international<br />

accounting standards as held for trading as it does not qualify for hedge accounting. The index-linked swap was taken out in August<br />

2003 to hedge against the risk of low inflation and previously qualified as a hedge under UK generally accepted accounting principles<br />

prior to the group’s adoption of international accounting standards.<br />
