There are no current plans to allot shares except in connection with the Company’s employee share plans.

     This will ensure that the directors continue to have the flexibility to act in the best interests of shareholders, when opportunities arise, by allotting shares.

RESOLUTION 13
That the Company be generally and unconditionally authorised to make market purchases (within the meaning of Section 163(3) of the Companies Act 1985) of shares of 5p each in the Company, subject to the following conditions:

The following resolution will be proposed as an ordinary resolution.

RESOLUTION 14
That British Telecommunications plc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, be authorised to make donations to EU (European Union) political organisations, not exceeding £100,000 in total, during the period beginning with the date of the 2006 Annual General Meeting and ending at the conclusion of the day on which the 2007 Annual General Meeting is held.
The Company’s continuing policy is that no company in the group shall make contributions in cash or kind (including loans) to any political party. Arrangements are in place to implement this policy. However, the definition of political donations used in the Companies Act 1985 is very much broader than the sense in which these words are ordinarily used. It covers activities such as making MPs and others in the political world aware of key industry issues and matters affecting the Company, which make an important contribution to their understanding of BT. These activities are carried out on an even-handed basis related broadly to the major political parties’ electoral strength. The authority we are requesting in this resolution is not designed to change the above policy. It will, however, ensure that the group acts within the provisions of the Companies Act 1985 requiring companies to obtain shareholder authority before they can make donations to EU political organisations (which includes UK political parties) as defined in the Act. During the 2006 financial year, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, British Telecommunications plc, spent £23,858.

Only shareholders on the Register of Members at 6.00 pm on 10 July 2006 are entitled to attend and vote. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies to vote on his or her behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. On a poll, the number of shares held by each shareholder at 6.00 pm on 10 July 2006 will decide the number of votes that the shareholder may cast.
