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, which as of January 19, 2009, has changed its name to Lloyds Banking Group plc (the “Company”).

As we discussed, the Company is continuing to gather factual content and is otherwise engaged in preparing its response, but would appreciate at this time a further two-week extension to prepare its response. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that it will now be in a position to submit its response by February 6, 2009. Please note that the Company is seeking to be as responsive as possible to the comments received while also providing a timely response. 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. I can be reached at +44 20 7418 1027.

We are grateful for your assistance in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

		Yours sincerely, /s/ John J. Satory
