In relation to the period from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024 inclusive, article 2 of this Order specifies an increase in prices of 6.7 per cent, based on a measure of the year on year change in the Consumer Prices Index to September 2023; and an increase in earnings of 7.7 per cent, based on a measure of the year on year change in average weekly earnings to September 2023.
