Inflation: Epping Forest

Asked by Dr Neil HudsonConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 15 October 2025UIN 78801

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of inflation on (a) businesses, (b) farmers and (c) consumers in Epping Forest constituency.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

The Office for National Statistics does not publish inflation statistics at the level of individual constituencies such as Epping Forest. However, the Government understands that inflation remains a challenge for businesses, including farmers, and consumers. This is why the Chancellor has asked departments to prioritise reducing inflation when developing policies for the Autumn Budget, ensuring decisions support stability and long-term growth.
