(as Issuer)

Barclays Bank PLC
(incorporated with limited liability in England and Wales)
(as Issuer and Guarantor)

Certificate Programme

This Base Prospectus supersedes the Base Prospectus dated 28th March, 2007, which superseded the Offering Circular dated 24th March, 2006 and any other
previous offering circular in respect of the Programme (as defined below). Any Certificates (as defined below) issued on or after the date of this Base
Prospectus are issued subject to the provisions described herein. The publication of this Base Prospectus does not affect any Certificates issued before the date
of this Base Prospectus.

Under the terms of the Certificate Programme (the Programme), each of Barclays Capital (Cayman) Limited (BCCL) and Barclays Bank PLC (the Bank or the
Guarantor and, together with BCCL, the Issuers and each an Issuer) may from time to time issue certificates (Certificates) of any kind including, but not
limited to, Certificates relating to a specified index or a basket of indices (Index Certificates), a specified share or a basket of shares (Share Certificates), a
specified debt instrument or a basket of debt instruments (Debt Certificates), a specified currency or a basket of currencies (Currency Certificates), a specified
commodity or a basket of commodities (Commodity Certificates) or a specified fund or a basket of funds (Fund Certificates). Each issue of Certificates will
be issued on the terms set out herein which are relevant to such Certificates under "Terms and Conditions of the Certificates" (the Conditions) and on such
additional terms as will be set out in a final terms supplement (the Final Terms) which, with respect to Certificates which are to be listed on a stock exchange,
will be delivered to such stock exchange and/or other relevant authority on or prior to the date of listing of such Certificates and, in the case of Certificates to be
listed on the London Stock Exchange, will be delivered to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange.

Each issue of Certificates by BCCL will be guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to a Deed of Guarantee (the Guarantee), the form of which is set out herein.

Each of BCCL and the Bank has a right of substitution as set out in Condition 13.

A description of the Final Terms is set out herein on page 19 and will specify with respect to each issue of Certificates to which it relates, inter alia, the specific
designation of the Certificates, the aggregate number and type of the Certificates, the date of issue of the Certificates, the issue price, the underlying asset, index
or other item(s) to which the Certificates relate, the redemption date and certain other terms relating to the offering and sale of the Certificates. The Final Terms
relating to such issue of Certificates will be attached to the Global Certificate (as defined in the Conditions). The Final Terms supplements the Conditions and
may specify other terms and conditions which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent with the Conditions, supplement, replace or modify
the Conditions.

Each issue of Certificates will entitle the holder thereof on the Redemption Date either to receive a cash amount (if any) calculated in accordance with the
relevant terms and/or to receive physical delivery of an amount of the underlying assets calculated in accordance with the relevant terms, all as set forth herein
and in the applicable Final Terms.

Prospective purchasers of Certificates should ensure that they understand the nature of the relevant Certificates and the extent of their exposure to
risks and that they consider the suitability of the relevant Certificates as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition.
Certificates involve a high degree of risk and potential investors should be prepared to sustain a total loss of the purchase price of their Certificates.
See "Risk Factors" on page 11.
Application has been made to the Financial Services Authority in its capacity as competent authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the
UK Listing Authority) for Certificates issued under the Programme during the period of 12 months from the date of this Base Prospectus to be admitted to the
official list of the UK Listing Authority (the Official List) and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the London Stock Exchange) for such Certificates to be
admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Domestic Market.
References in this Base Prospectus to Certificates being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Certificates have been admitted to trading on the
London Stock Exchange's Domestic Market and have been admitted to the Official List. The London Stock Exchange's Domestic Market is a regulated market
for the purposes of Directive 93/22/EEC (the Investment Services Directive).
The Programme provides that Certificates may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchanges or markets as the
relevant Issuer may decide. Each Issuer may also issue unlisted Certificates and/or Certificates not admitted to trading on any market.

The Certificates and the Guarantee and, in certain cases, the Entitlement (as defined herein) have not been and will not be registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may
not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act
(Regulation S)) except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws. In addition, neither Issuer has registered as an investment company pursuant to the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the Investment Company Act). Accordingly, Certificates represented by Regulation S Global Certificates, Permanent Global Certificates or Registered
Global Certificates (each as defined below) are only being offered and sold outside the United States to persons who are not U.S. persons as defined in
Regulation S in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. Certificates represented by Rule 144A Global Certificates (as defined below) may be offered
and sold within the United States only to qualified institutional buyers (each a QIB) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (Rule 144A) in reliance
1










on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. Each purchaser of the Certificates will be deemed to have made the
representations described in "Notice to Purchasers and Holders of Certificates and Transfer Restrictions". Each purchaser of Certificates represented by Rule
144A Global Certificates is hereby notified that the offer and sale of Certificates to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. In certain circumstances, delivery of any Entitlement under the terms of the Certificates will be
conditional upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership.

The Certificates are excluded from the United States Commodities Exchange Act (the CEA). The Certificates have not been approved by the Commodities
Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC) under the CEA and are therefore not subject to the supervision of the CFTC or regulation under the CEA.

Only Certificates issued by the Bank may be offered and sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons. Certificates issued by
BCCL will only be offered and sold to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S.

Certificates sold in the United States will, unless otherwise specified in the relevant Final Terms, be sold through Barclays Capital Inc., a registered broker
dealer.

Certificates in bearer form sold exclusively outside the United States to non-U.S. persons will be represented by a permanent global certificate (a Permanent
Global Certificate) which will be deposited with a common depositary on behalf of Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg) and
Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (Euroclear) on the date of issue of the relevant Certificates.

Certificates in registered form sold exclusively outside the United States to non-U.S. persons will be represented by a registered global certificate (each a
Registered Global Certificate) which will be issued by BCCL and deposited with the Registrar (as defined in the Conditions).

In the event that an issue of Certificates is eligible for sale in the United States (US Certificates) (i) to QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A, any such US Certificates
sold in the United States will be represented by a global certificate which will be deposited either: (1) with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., New York Branch, as
the New York Certificate Agent as custodian for, and in the name of a nominee of, The Depositary Trust Company (DTC) or (2) with a common depositary on
behalf of Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear (each a Rule 144A Global Certificate) and (ii) any such US Certificates sold outside the United States to
non-U.S. persons will be represented by a Regulation S Global Certificate (each a Regulation S Global Certificate) deposited with a common depository on
behalf of Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear.

Interests in a Permanent Global Certificate may not be exchanged for interests in a Rule 144A Global Certificate, a Regulation S Global Certificate or a
Registered Global Certificate. Interests in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may not be exchanged for interests in a Permanent Global Certificate or a Registered
Global Certificate. Interests in a Registered Global Certificate may not be exchanged for interests in a Permanent Global Certificate, a Regulation S Global
Certificate or a Rule 144A Global Certificate. Interests in a Regulation S Global Certificate may not be exchanged for interests in a Permanent Global
Certificate or a Registered Global Certificate.

Except as otherwise specified herein, definitive Certificates will not be issued.

consent of the applicable Issuer or the Guarantor. For purposes of this paragraph, the tax treatment of the Transactions is the
