To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they are planning to harmonise the various indices used to calculate inflation.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they are planning to harmonise the various indices used to calculate inflation.
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply and will place a copy of their letter in the House library.

Impacts of the latest increase in inflation on families with children have not been estimated.
However the Department’s latest Households Below Average Income statistics to 2016 published on 16th March 2017 does show how the number of children in low income households has changed with reference to inflation (the measure is called absolute low income). Since 2010, there has been a decrease of 200,000 children before housing costs (BHC) in absolute low income. After housing costs (AHC) had been taken into account, there were 100,000 fewer children in absolute low income since 2010.
In terms of proportions, there have also been reductions in the rates of absolute low income on both bases - BHC down by 2 percentage points, and AHC down by 1 percentage point since 2010.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect on (a) living standards and (b) household incomes in Scotland of the revised inflation forecasts in the Office for Budget Responsibility's Economic and Fiscal Outlook published alongside Spring Budget 2017.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect on (a) living standards and (b) household incomes in Scotland of the revised inflation forecasts in the Office for Budget Responsibility's Economic and Fiscal Outlook published alongside Spring Budget 2017.
The OBR forecast that the sterling depreciation would put upward pressure on inflation. But, Scotland is facing this inflationary challenge from a position of strength. Median weekly household income is higher in Scotland than the UK average. Since 2010, productivity in Scotland has risen the second fastest of all the UK nations and regions - and boosting productivity is crucial for creating a sustained rise in living standards.
The Government is continuing to take action to support living standards. This includes increasing the National Living Wage, raising the personal allowance and freezing fuel duty.

My Lords, I will put the noble Lord’s assertion to the test with one simple question: can we say with absolute certainty that not one penny from the Royal British Legion has been withheld or interfered with by us through the conflict between its initiatives and ours, and that everybody...

No, I cannot possibly say that. It is not my role as a shadow Minister. If anybody is going to give those undertakings, it is the noble Lord, Lord Henley, and I wish him well.

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord McKenzie, and my noble friend Lord James of Blackheath for their comments. The noble Lord, Lord McKenzie, asked a number of fairly detailed questions, a great many of which will, I suspect, be far better dealt with in correspondence, if the noble...

If the Minister will allow me to intervene, it is not just a question of looking at the total numbers of people who are new sufferers, particularly in relation to mesothelioma; it is the extent to which they are able to access compensation—as the Minister put it—speedily, whether it is...
