Abstract
The period from the Autumn of 2012 to the Spring of 2016 saw intense scrutiny of consumer price indices with two public consultations, two UK Statistics Authority monitoring and assessment reviews, two external UK Statistics Authority Reviews and a National Statistics Quality Review of the Living Costs and Food survey , a key source of weighting information. This degree of attention paid to the indices reflected an increasing focus on engagement with users of Official Statistics and the general public.
