Inflation falls slightly to 2.6%

The UK rate of inflation has slowed to 2.6% in the year to June, driven down by lower fuel prices, according to new figures.

The June rate of inflation fell from the 2.8% recorded for the year to May, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.

Food prices also fell, driven by products such as chocolate, beef and margarine.

ONS chief economist Grant Fitzner said: “A fall in motor fuel prices, particularly diesel, helped ease inflation in June.”
