Headline inflation remained at 3.1% in September as it was in August though there were significant changes within the index that put pressure on it between August and September.
Falling air fares and second-hand car prices put most downward pressure on inflation with the main upward pressures counteracting it being record price increases for August in clothing and footwear and food and non-alcoholic beverages where prices also rose slightly. Furniture, household equipment and maintenace also increased by 1.7%.
