Abstract: Let $H^{\ast }(cal{B}_e)$ be the cohomology of the Springer fibre for the nilpotent element $e$ in a simple Lie algebra $g$, on which the Weyl group $W$ acts by the Springer representation. Let $Lambd{a}^{i}V$ denote the $i$th exterior power of the reflection representation of $W$. We determine the degrees in which $Lambd{a}^{i}V$ occurs in the graded representation $H^{\ast }(cal{B}_e)$, under the assumption that $e$ is regular in a Levi subalgebra and satisfies a certain extra condition which holds automatically if $g$ is of type A, B, or C. This partially verifies a conjecture of Lehrer--Shoji, and extends the results of Solomon in the $e=0$ case and Lehrer--Shoji in the $i=1$ case. The proof proceeds by showing that $(H^{\ast }(cal{B}_e)otimesLambd{a}^{\ast }V{)}^W$ is a free exterior algebra on its subspace $(H^{\ast }(cal{B}_e)otimesV{)}^W$.
