(asked on 1st October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what indices Government departments use when calculating defence inflation.
This question was answered on 15th October 2018
We base our assessments on official inflation rates that are published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for a wide range of UK industries, as well as the Department's own contract and personnel data. Typically, we use around 80 different ONS price indices.
