Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

The Direct Line parent company, Direct Line Insurance Group Limited (formerly plc), is now a direct subsidiary of the Company. The governance of Direct Line Insurance Group Limited has been aligned with that of the Company.”
