  We study the biparametric quantum deformation of GL(2) x GL(1) and exhibit
its cross-product structure. We derive explictly the associated dual algebra,
i.e., the quantised universal enveloping algebra employing the R-matrix
procedure. This facilitates construction of a bicovariant differential calculus
which is also shown to have a cross-product structure. Finally, a Jordanian
analogue of the deformation is presented as a cross-product algebra.
