                                 AGM STATEMENT

                            FRIDAY 13TH JANUARY 2006


At the Annual General Meeting of Bellway p.l.c. to be held at 12 noon in
Newcastle upon Tyne on Friday, 13th January 2006, the Chairman, Mr H C Dawe will
make the following statement.

        'Although we have been greatly encouraged by the level of sales achieved
        on a year to date basis, until the strength of the spring selling season
        is known, it is difficult to predict how the housing market will unfold.
        However, whilst we started the financial year with carry forward sales
        slightly below the previous year's record levels, we have now secured
        almost 75% of this current year's target. This strong position gives the
        Board confidence of achieving its expectations for the year.

        A trading update providing further detail will be issued on Friday, 3rd
        February prior to entering our close period. The Group's Interim
        Results, for the half year ending 31st January 2006, will be announced
        to the Stock Exchange on Tuesday, 4th April.'
