Note : Accruals and deferred income includes £4m (1998: £7m) relating to the unamortised profit arising out of the unwinding of a sterling interest rate swap in 1994. The swap was arranged in 1992 in connection with the issue of £100m 10.75% Sterling Bonds 2002. The profit
is being amortised over the remaining life of the bonds. £1m is due after one year . None of the amount falls due after five years.
