Departmental Accountancy

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform pursuant to the answer of 24 January 2008, Official Report, column 2187W, on departmental accountancy, what measure of inflation is used in uprating concessionary fuel payments. [185260]

Mr. Thomas: Concessionary fuel payments are linked to different RPIs: cash in lieu increases are linked to the fuel and light RPI index (the increase is applied from October onwards). Coal prices are linked to the solid fuel index.

However, RPI increases are not included ‘in the forecast’ of concessionary fuel provisions.

2. APS figures are grossed to population estimates consistent with those published in spring 2003 which are significantly lower than the latest population estimates as used in the Labour Market Statistics.
3. At the two digit SOC2000 level therefore twenty-five classification groups.
4. All 25 occupational classification groups are provided, ranked according to the largest positive change in Nottingham North.
