HC Deb 27 June 1985 vol 81 c466W
61. 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.
