HC Deb 29 January 1973 vol 849 c314W
Mr. Marples

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if, on 15th October 1964, £100 would buy £100 worth of goods, how much money, in view of inflation, is needed to buy what £100 would have bought on 15th October 1964 on the following dates: 31st March 1966, 18th June 1970 and 1st January 1973.

Mr. Nott

The figures are £106 in March, 1966, £129 in June, 1970, and £157 in December, 1972 (the latest date for which information is available). These estimates are based on the movement in the Consumer Price Index between 1964 and 1968 and the movements in the General Index of Retail Prices for other periods.
