UK inflation rises to 0.3% in January
UK inflation edged up to a 12 month high in January, as a fall in petrol prices eased.
Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Prices Index, rose by 0.3%. It was helped by smaller falls in food and fuel prices than a year ago.
Annual inflation has been below the Bank of England's 2% target for two years, and last year it was zero.
The BoE said earlier this month that it expected inflation to stay below 1% this year.
