The results of this research were published in November 2017[1]. Following this publication, we have further commissioned University of Southampton to continue the study. While still underway, initial findings of the study suggest that we will be unable to produce reliable regional price indices without a significant increase in the price sample for this area, which would be costly. We expect the study to be completed by December 2018.</p><p> </p><p>We are actively pursuing access to retailers' transactional databases as part of our work exploring alternative data sources for consumer price statistics under the Digital Economy Act’s framework to access data for statistical purposes. At such a time as we receive access to these data we will have a sufficiently detailed data source to explore more reliable regional consumer price statistics; however, our timescales are dependent on when retailers might provide us with such data.</p><p> </p><p>Yours sincerely,<br></p><p><strong><br> John Pullinger</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/methodologies/feasibilitystudyintoproducingcpihconsistentinflationratesforukregions" target="_blank">Feasibility study into producing CPIH consistent inflation rates for UK regions</a></p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 15/05/2018 16:18:12 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
