The responsibility statement below is set out in the 2014 Annual
Report and Accounts.
The following statement is repeated here solely for the purpose
of complying with DTR 6.3.5. This statement relates to and is

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report,
the Directors' Remuneration Report and the financial statements in
accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial
statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors
have prepared the Group financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by
the European Union, and 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 financial
statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Company and of
the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing these
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 IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and applicable UK
Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any
material
departures disclosed and explained in the Group and Parent
Company
financial statements respectively; and
-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it
is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in
business.
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 the Group and enable them to
ensure that the financial statements and the Directors'
Remuneration Report comply with the Companies Act 2006 and, as
regards the Group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS
Regulation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets
of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps
for the prevention and detection of fraud and other
irregularities.
The Directors have chosen to prepare supplementary information
in accordance with the European Embedded Value Principles issued in
May 2004 by the Chief Financial Officers Forum, as supplemented by
the Additional Guidance on European Embedded Value Disclosures
issued in October 2005 ("the EEV Principles"). When compliance with
the EEV Principles is stated, those principles require the
Directors to prepare supplementary information in accordance with
the Embedded Value methodology (EVM) contained in the EEV
Principles and to disclose and explain any non-compliance with the
EEV Guidance included in the EEV Principles.
In preparing the EEV supplementary information, the Directors
have:
-- prepared the supplementary information in accordance with the EEV
Principles;
-- identified and described the business covered by the EVM;
-- applied the EVM consistently to the covered business;
-- determined assumptions on a realistic basis, having regard to past,
current and expected future experience and to any relevant
external
data, and then applied them consistently; and
-- made estimates that are reasonable and consistent.
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.
Each of the Directors, whose names and functions are listed in
Board of Directors section of the Annual Report confirm that, to
the best of their knowledge:
-- the Group financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with IFRSs as adopted by the EU, give a true and fair view of
the
assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the
Group;
-- the European Embedded Value (EEV) supplementary information has been
prepared in accordance with the European Embedded Value
principles
issued in May 2004 by the Chief Financial Officers Forum as
supplemented by the Additional Guidance on European Embedded
Value
Disclosures issued in October 2005 ("the EEV Principles");
-- the Strategic Report includes a fair review of the development and
performance of the business and the position of the Group,
together
with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that
it
faces; and
-- the Directors consider that the Annual Report and Accounts, taken as a
whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the
information necessary for shareholders to assess the
Company's
performance, business model and strategy.
