The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply. Letter from Stephen Penneck, Director-General for ONS, to Lord Wigley, dated February 2012. As Director General for the Office for National Statistics (ONS), I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking if the ONS could publish a table showing the value of the pound in each year since 1992 against an index of 100 for the value of the pound in 1974 [HL15384]. ONS already publishes information on the value of the pound in one year compared to others covering 1977 to 2011 in table 33 of the detailed Consumer Prices Index and Retail Price Index Reference tables available at: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/cpi/consumer-price-indices/december-2011/cpi-and-rpi-detailed-reference-tables.xls. It is recognised that certain users may be interested in comparisons for earlier years and therefore instructions are provided alongside the published data so that users can make comparisons back to 1947. Table 1 provides the analysis you have requested.
