The UK Chancellor of the Exchequer responded to March inflation figures.

Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, said: “Inflation falling for two months in a row, wages growing faster than prices and positive growth figures are encouraging signs that our Plan for Change is working, but there is more to be done.

"I know many families are still struggling with the cost of living and this is an anxious time because of a changing world. That is why the Government has boosted pay for three million people by increasing the minimum wage, frozen fuel duty and begun rolling out free breakfast clubs in primary schools."
