HC Deb 16 June 1982 vol 25 c276W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what was the price index for domestic gas on 1 January in each of the past five years, taking the price on 1 January 1980 as 100.

Mr. John Moore

The price of domestic gas forms a component of the general index of retail prices published by the Department of Employment. Data from this source yield the following index values:

Date
17 January 1978 92.4
16 January 1979 92.6
15 January 1980 100.0
13 January 1981 127.7
12 January 1982 161.0

Data that would enable an index with 1 January 1980 as 100 to be derived are not readily available.
