The potential net tax benefit in respect of tax losses carried forward at 31 March 2002 was £37m in United Kingdom subsidiaries (2001: £14m) and £524m in
international subsidiaries (2001: £305m). These losses are only available for offset against future profits arising from the same trade within these companies.
In addition, the Groups share of losses of United Kingdom and international joint venture undertakings that are available for offset against future trading profits
in these entities is £105m and £Nil, respectively (2001: £10m and £Nil). The Groups share of losses of United Kingdom and international associated
undertakings that are available for offset against future trading profits in these entities is £Nil and £109m, respectively (2001: £Nil and £173m).
A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of the unrelieved tax losses of £378m (2001: £176m) and short term timing differences of £106m
(2001: £20m) as the various companies do not anticipate taxable profits to arise within the next year. In time it is anticipated that these companies will
generate taxable profits and that these losses will gradually be recovered.
Other provisions
Other provisions primarily comprise amounts provided for legal claims.
