Original Request
Thank you for the breakdown of the Leisure Goods RPI line recently. I'm finding it very difficult to believe that this basket increased by 40.6% in 1 month between June 2020 and July 2020, and 63.9% in the year between March 2020 and March 2021. Primary request: Please provide the index and the weighting for each of the items in RPI's Leisure Goods line for each month from March 2018 to March 2021. Secondary requests: - If at all possible, please also provide the actual average prices of each of the items at each date. - Please also provide any internal review documents relating to the July 2020 inflation report, its publication, or its preparation. Information quality: Please ensure that from the information provided it is possible to identify the change in the index or price, for each item in the Leisure Goods line of the RPI. If at all possible, please provide information enough to recalculate the 12 month change for the Leisure Goods line (for example the 63.9% at March 2021). Alternatives in the case of difficult to produce information: If it is very difficult for you to produce this data for the 37 months requested, then you may restrict this request to the data for the critical 6 months, listed below, in order of importance: June 2020, July 2020, March 2021, March 2020, July 2019, July 2018 If on the other hand it's relatively easy to produce this data, then please extend the request to include the breakdown by item of every line which makes up RPI. This would also reduce the likelihood of further freedom of information requests relating to inflation. If the Cabinet Office does not have this information then please tell me who does so I can make the appropriate FOI.
