Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the change in the value of Sterling on the cost of food in the calculation of inflation for UK households.

The independent Office for National Statistics is responsible for producing the calculation of the Consumer Price Index measure of inflation. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is responsible for producing independent economic and fiscal forecasts. The OBR will publish a full analysis of the prospects for inflation in their forecast at Autumn Statement.
