(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Wednesday and not separately reported by Alliance News:

----------

Sutton Harbour Group PLC - Plymouth, England-based waterfront regeneration company - Says it has responded to a letter from Plymouth City Council, rebutting their claim that Plymouth City Airport Ltd is in breach of certain terms of its leases. Plymouth City Airport is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sutton Harbour. Further, the firm demands that the "wrongfully served" S146 notices are withdrawn. An S146 notice falls under the Law of Property Act 1925, and warns a tenant who is in breach of covenant of the landlord's intention to forfeit the lease. Sutton Harbour will provide an update on this matter once it gets a response from the council.

Carried out in combination with an existing Shell UK Ltd carry, the transaction will see Deltic retain a 25% non-operated interest in the licence. Chief Executive Graham Swindells says: "Well planning remains on schedule and we are looking forward to commencing Selene well operations with Shell and Dana in the summer. Our attention is now firmly focussed on drawing the Pensacola farm-out process to a successful conclusion."
