                     EXTRACTS FROM CHAIRMAN'S AGM STATEMENT


At today's Annual General Meeting of Informa plc the Chairman, Richard Hooper,
will make the following statement:


'The current year has started well and the Group is performing in line with our
expectations. The integration of IIR is now complete and the acquisition
benefits are coming through as planned.  The core markets in which we operate
are in good health and we are benefiting from strong growth in a number of
geographies, including the Middle East.


'We have a well balanced portfolio combining complementary skill sets in
Publishing, Performance Improvement and Events that enable us to grow quickly
when markets are strong and to defend our profits robustly in a downturn.  Our
global, market leading brands are well positioned in their respective markets
allowing us to continue to develop new products that provide our customers with
the high value information they require and take advantage of the full range of
delivery media available within the Group.  We are on track to meet our targets
and deliver another good financial performance in 2006.'
