Deferred tax assets 141 439
Deferred tax liabilities (252) (178)
  (111) 261
Deferred tax not recognised on unused tax losses and other items 1 154 146

In addition there are temporary differences of £593m (2005 £467m) relating to investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures. No deferred tax has been provided in respect of these differences, since the timing of the reversals can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the future.
