Dear Sirs

HANSON PLC
DIRECTORS' SHARE INTERESTS - SECTION 329 COMPANIES ACT 1985

I have today been notified by A J Murray and G Dransfield, directors of the Company, that on November 11, 2004 they exercised options over Hanson ordinary shares ("ordinary shares"), as detailed below. The options, which were granted on December 16, 1994, would otherwise have lapsed on December 15, 2004.

  1. Mr Murray exercised an option over 591 ordinary shares at a subscription price of 412.3p per share and retained the shares arising.

    To meet the cost of subscription for the above mentioned shares and the resultant tax liability, Mr Murray exercised an option over 25,463 ordinary shares for a cash payment calculated on the difference between the market price of 428.5p per share and the subscription price of 412.3p per share.

  2. Mr Dransfield exercised an option over 1,974 ordinary shares at a subscription price of 412.3p per share and retained the shares arising.

    To meet the cost of subscription for the above mentioned shares and the resultant tax liability, Mr Dransfield exercised an option over 85,061 ordinary shares for a cash payment calculated on the difference between the market price of 428.5p per share and the subscription price of 412.3p per share.
The additional ordinary shares acquired by Messrs Murray and Dransfield arising out of the above transactions will increase their beneficial holdings to 239,052 and 134,968 ordinary shares, respectively.
