Enclosure No. 7
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc ("RBS Group")
RBS Group has entered into a settlement agreement with respect to the litigation brought by the bankruptcy estate of Enron Corp. and certain of its affiliates against a number of financial institutions, including certain members of the RBS Group. The settlement for a net payment of US$20m, along with subordination of certain of its claims, recognises the very limited role of RBS in this dispute. RBS continues to defend vigorously the other Enron related actions into which it has been joined as a defendant.

Executive Changes
Mr Fred Watt, Group Finance Director, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc
("RBS") announces his intention to leave the Group later in the year.
Commenting on his decision, Mr Watt said:
"When you are working for a great organisation, with great people, it's never
easy to make the decision to leave and I know that I will miss them. However, I
have a very young family and consider myself very fortunate to be able to make a
choice to spend more time with them. I can't put their growing up on hold - my
family is my number one priority."
"Not many people have had the opportunity to work in an organisation that has
gone through such a major transformation in such a short period of time. I feel
privileged to have been part of RBS during this exciting time and have very much
enjoyed working so closely with Fred and the rest of the team."
Commenting on Mr Watt's decision, Sir Fred Goodwin, Group Chief Executive, said:
"Fred has made an outstanding contribution as Group Finance Director since
joining in 2000. I will miss him as a colleague, but will retain him as a
friend. I fully respect his decision and the reasons for it: I'll be sad to see
him go, as will the rest of the Board."
