Form 20-F filed 5 June 2008

Dear Mr. Adames:
 
I am writing further to our conversation today regarding the comment letter from the Division of Corporation Finance dated December 5, 2008 to Lloyds TSB Group plc (the “Company”).
 
As we discussed, the Company had originally believed that the extension previously requested of 30 days beyond the original 10-business day reply period would be sufficient time to allow it to consider properly its response to the staff’s comments.  However, as I communicated to you today, the Company now believes a further week extension is needed.  Accordingly, the Company anticipates that it will now be in a position to submit its response by January 23, 2009.  I understand from our conversation that the staff would be agreeable to this request and would be grateful if you could advise me should this not be the case.
 
We are grateful for your assistance in this matter.  Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
