Mr. Jim Lester
The figures are prepared by the statistical office of the Community based on the component information of the retail prices index (RPI) compiled by my Department. The figures are an incorrect recombination of the components of the RPI and the statistical office of the Community has agreed to present them in future publications on a basis consistent with the RPI.
