65. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Labour when he proposes to alter the system by which the cost-of-living index is calculated; and what changes he proposes.

Mr. Gunter

The Index of Retail Prices is calculated in accordance with the recommendations of the Cost of Living Advisory Committee in its report dated 16th February, 1962. I have no proposals for altering the system.
