UK inflation: which goods and services have risen most in price?

The UK’s annual inflation rate fell in March, but not by as much as forecast, remaining in double digits at 10.1%, with the price of many of the items used to calculate the figure continuing to rise at a much faster rate.

The Office for National Statistics compiled the overall number using the consumer prices index but also logs prices for individual goods and services. Here we look at how the cost of many of those everyday items has shot up over the past year.

In each case the figure is the percentage change in the average price over the 12 months to March.
