Food: Prices

Asked by Wendy MortonConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 3 July 2025UIN 63671

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of Government fiscal policies on levels of food inflation.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

HM Treasury does not produce forecasts of the UK economy. Forecasting the economy, including the impact of Government policy decisions, is the responsibility of independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). The OBR does not publish estimates of the impact of policy decisions on levels of food inflation.
