                  INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT BY THE AUDITORS

Independent review report to the Board of Directors of Barclays PLC

Introduction
We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information
set out on pages 7 and 9, 39 to 49 and 52 to 56 and we have read the other
information contained in the interim report for any apparent misstatements
or material inconsistencies with the financial information.

Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein,
is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors.  The
Listing Rules of the London Stock Exchange require that the accounting
policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be
consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts
except where any changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.

Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin
1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board.  A review consists
principally of making enquiries of group management and applying analytical
procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data, and
based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation
have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed.  A review
excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of
assets, liabilities and transactions.  It is substantially less in scope
than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards and therefore
provides a lower level of assurance than an audit.  Accordingly we do not
express an audit opinion on the financial information.

Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the financial information as presented for the six
months ended 30th June 1999.
