I am grateful to the Minister for addressing one issue that I wanted to raise with him, but I am also concerned that pensioners' and disabled people's experience of inflation is dependent on their heating costs, which was one of the main drivers of inflation last year. My concern is that CPI is not a good measure of people's experience of inflation, because those people experience higher inflation than the rest of us, who go out during the day.
