Inflation: Deadly price hikes cannot go on any longer

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the latest figures which shows inflation still above 10%, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:

"These deadly price hikes cannot go on any longer. Families and pensioners are paying the price for Government failure to control inflation.

"Food bills are out of control and we have not heard on a solution from Ministers. They could be helping British farmers and high street shops with energy costs which are passed onto the public, but instead Government Ministers just sit on their hands.

"Today is no cause for celebration as high inflation misery continues to hinder economic growth."
