Thank you for your letter of 24 January regarding Scottish Government figures on the cost of living. I directed the Office for Statistics Regulation to examine your concerns on this issue, and its substantive reply from Director General Ed Humpherson is enclosed.

 

Yours sincerely,

Sir Robert Chote
Chair of the UK Statistics Authority
