In relation to the interest earned on the total cash sum, the total amount
earned on all group financial assets is also set out in the accounts at
note 8 (Page 65) Net finance income (excluding net pensions interest).
Interest on cash and investments with banks and building societies
balances amounted to **12m for the year and is included within "Interest
