              Annual General Meeting of Legal & General Group Plc.


Legal & General Group Plc ('the Group') held its Annual General Meeting today at
The Plaisterers Hall, No. 1 London Wall, London EC2Y 5JU.


In addressing the meeting Rob Margetts, Chairman, noted that there was
increasing evidence that people are saving more.  This was reflected in strong
UK new business results for 2005 and for the first quarter of this year.   He
emphasised the need for a stable environment in the UK for the Group to operate
successfully and profitably and looked forward to the release of the Government
White Paper on pension provision.


Tim Breedon, who was appointed Group Chief Executive from 1 January 2006,
commented on the Group's strategy and operational strengths, not least amongst
them being the ability to evolve to meet the challenges of the future whilst
retaining the experience and values built up over many years.  He added that the
Group Board had decided to align the responsibilities of its senior executives
more closely to the way in which the Group saw its business evolving.  As a
consequence, Kate Avery, currently Group Director (Retail Distribution) will
become Group Executive Director (Wealth Management) while John Pollock,
currently Group Director (Product & Corporate), will become Group Executive
Director (Protection & Annuities). Both will continue to report to Robin Phipps,
Group Executive Director (UK).
