INFLATION AND THE COST OF LIVING

Early day motion 1541, tabled 12 May 2008 by John Hemming (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 33 members.

That this House notes that different types of household have different patterns of expenditure; notes particularly increases in energy and food costs and recognises that these can cause households on constrained income particular difficulties; and calls for the Government to arrange for a review of the cost of living for particular types of household to facilitate policy development so that people on constrained incomes are capable of maintaining their standard of living.
