Mr. Knox
asked the Secretary of State for Energy what was the price index for domestic gas on 1 January in each of the past five years, taking the price on 1 January 1980 as 100.
Mr. John Moore
The price of domestic gas forms a component of the general index of retail prices published by the Department of Employment. Data from this source yield the following index values:
| Date | |
| 17 January 1978 | 92·4 |
| 16 January 1979 | 92·6 |
| 15 January 1980 | 100·0 |
| 13 January 1981 | 127·7 |
| 12 January 1982 | 161·0 |
