Relative Regional Consumer Price Levels in 2003
This article gives ONS’s estimates of the relative differences in consumer prices between regions in 2003.
In a recent article (Fenwick and O’Donoghue, 2003) the Office for National Statistics (ONS) explained how it planned to fulfil the needs for regional price data articulated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his Budget speech.
Regional price level surveys were considered in the Allsopp Review of Statistics for Economic Policymaking (the final report was published in March 2004). The approach taken in both the 2003 and 2004 regional price surveys was supported by the Review.
