Peter Dowd MP,
Labour’s Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, responding to today’s
inflation figures by the ONS, said:
“Today’s inflation
figures are further bad news for working households. Inflation remains around a
five year high, while real earnings are still lower than in 2010, following
seven years of Tory economic failure.
“The next Labour
government will introduce a £10 per hour Real Living Wage to tackle the
wages squeeze, and build a high wage, high skill economy for the many, not the
few.”
