Auditors'statement

Independent auditors'statement to the members of BT Group plc
We have examined the Summary financial statement which comprises the Summary group income statement, Summary group cash flow statement and Summary group balance sheet and the Summary report on directors'remuneration.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors
The directors are responsible for preparing the BT Group plc Annual Review & Notice of Meeting in accordance with United Kingdom law.

Our responsibility is to report to you our opinion on the consistency of the Summary financial statement within the BT Group plc Annual Review & Notice of Meeting with the full annual financial statements, the Report of the Directors and the Report on directors'remuneration and its compliance with the relevant requirements of section 251 of the Companies Act 1985 and the regulations made under that section.

We also read the other information contained in the BT Group plc Annual Review & Notice of Meeting and consider the implications for our statement if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the Summary financial statement.

This statement, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the company's members as a body in accordance with section 251 of the Companies Act 1985 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this statement is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Basis of opinion
We conducted our work in accordance with Bulletin 1999/6, 'The auditors'statement on the summary financial statement'issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our reports on the company's full annual financial statements describe the basis of our audit opinions on those financial statements and the Report on directors'remuneration.

Opinion
In our opinion the Summary financial statement is consistent with the full annual financial statements, the Report of the Directors and the Report on directors'remuneration of BT Group plc for the year ended 31 March 2008 and complies with the applicable requirements of section 251 of the Companies Act 1985, and the regulations made under that section.
