Does the UK include food, housing and energy in the statistics?
From the article linked:
The ONS tracks price changes of more than 700 goods and services to produce a monthly snapshot of inflation in the UK economy. It updates the items included in the basket every year to reflect the changing tastes and habits of consumers.
The last detailed "basket" I could find on their website included foods, housing and household services (which I assume includes energy), the last two categories being weighted to be 12% of expenditure.
1 Food & non-alcoholic beverages
2 Alcohol & tobacco
3 Clothing & footwear
4 Housing & household services
5 Furniture & household goods
6 Health
7 Transport
8 Communication
9 Recreation & culture
10 Education
11 Restaurants & hotels
12 Miscellaneous goods & services
I guess the LPs are thrown in with many other things in either the Miscellaneous or Recreational categories.
