Retail Prices Index Advisory Committee

HC Deb 06 June 1984 vol 61 c171W

Mr. Burt

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has any plans to reconvene the Retail Prices Index Advisory Committee.

Mr. Tom King

I intend to reconvene the committee shortly to re-examine the treatment of housing costs in the retail prices index, to consider the possibility of rebasing the index and to consider certain points on its coverage and construction.
