Inflation figures: Govt can't keep sitting on its hands

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to inflation remaining at 3.8%, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper said:

“The Government can’t keep sitting on its hands - thoughts and prayers won’t fix this.

“As families look on at the ever increasing costs of food bills, energy bills, children’s school uniforms and more, the winter is looking very expensive and very bleak.

“Ministers need to roll up their sleeves and set out a proper plan to slash energy bills, tackle food prices by backing our farmers, cut red tape for business, and boost jobs by scrapping the damaging jobs tax.”
