A surge in oil prices and a rise in household gas and electricity bills pushed UK inflation to 1.5% in April, its highest level since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, according to official figures.
The ONS said the lifting of the price cap on gas and electricity prices had also increased household utility bills.
In February, the energy regulator Ofgem published the cap levels to run from 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2021 price cap, saying an increased demand for wholesale gas had sent the average bill up by £96, or 9%, to £1,138 since October 2020.
