Sir John Farr
asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is satisfied with the current composition of the cost of living index.
Mr. Alan Clark
Yes, I am satisfied with the composition of the retail prices index but, following established practice, I have reconvened the retail prices index advisory committee to look at certain matters relating to the construction of the index. The committee will make such recommendations as it sees fit.
