Consumer Prices Index (CPI) measure of inflation rose to 3.5 per cent in the year to April .

This is well above the Bank of England’s two per cent target.

Jason Hollands of wealth management firm Evelyn Partners said: “ One of the main things the Government can do to keep inflation in check is to resist calls for inflation-busting wage rises in the public sector which might fuel a wage/price spiral. “However, this will be politically challenging for them given the relationship with the unions, current poll ratings and their recent track record of awarding pay rises in the public sector.”.
