Consultation on reform to Retail Prices Index methodology now closed

The consultation covers, among other things, the issue of timing, including whether UKSA’s proposal might be implemented at a date other than 2030 and, if so, when between 2025 and 2030, and issues on technical matters concerning the implementation of the proposal.

The consultation was launched at Budget on 11 March. It was scheduled to close on 22 April, however, owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the consultation period was extended until 21 August.

The consultation is now closed for responses. The government and UKSA will respond to the consultation in the autumn.
