CPI inflation rate DOUBLES to 1 5% in April

Fears of a spike in inflation were fuelled today as official figures showed the CPI rate doubled to a year-high of 1.5 per cent in April.  The headline index was slightly higher than economists had expected, and up from an annualised figure of 0.7 per cent in March.  The surge in the cost of living came as gas and electricity prices rose sharply, as the default tariff cap was increased recently compared with a cut a year earlier. Clothes shops also increased their prices last month as non-essential retail reopened on April 12, while rising oil prices saw motor fuel inflation rise at its fastest pace for more than four years.
