Due to a processing error some time series data in household consumption final expenditure were not updated with the latest data. In the 30 September 2021 release of Consumer Trends an error has been identified in the calculation of annual household expenditure chain volume measures for selected periods between 1985 and 1996. Quarterly figures are unaffected. Current price data are not impacted by this error. This error has now been rectified. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
