Economy Commenting on today's inflation figures, ONS Head of Inflation Mike Hardie said: "Inflation fell to its lowest rate in a year, with women's clothing prices rising slower than usual for this time of year. "Alcohol and tobacco also helped ease inflation pressures, with tobacco duty rises linked to the Budget not appearing this March, thanks to its new autumn billing. "Growth in the price of goods leaving factories continued to slow, mainly due to a smaller increase in the price of food products compared with this time last year."
