In the UK the group's freehold properties are held within Headlam Group plc
and a rent is charged to the operating segments for the period of use. 
Therefore the operating reports reviewed by the Group Chief Executive show all
the UK properties as unallocated and the operating segments report a segment
result that includes a property rent.  This is reflected in the above
disclosure. 
 
Each segment is a continuing operation.

4 TAXATION 
 
The group's consolidated effective tax rate in respect of continuing
operations for the six months ended 30 June 2015 was 20.25% (for the six
months ended 30 June 2014: 21.5%; for the year ended 31 December 2014:
21.5%). 
 
Reductions in the UK corporation tax rate from 23% to 21% (effective from 1
April 2014) and 20% (effective from 1 April 2015) were substantively enacted
on 2 July 2013. In the Budget on 8 July 2015, the Chancellor announced
additional planned reductions to 18% by 2020. This will reduce the company's
future current tax charge accordingly. The deferred tax asset at 30 June 2015
has been calculated based on the rate of 20% substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date.
