  "A survey estimate: the share of adults aged 16 and over in Great Britain who said their cost of living had increased compared with one month ago, with the lower and upper limits of its 95% confidence interval. The ONS rounds each to a whole number. Each point is dated by the last day of its fieldwork period, and the periods differ in length.",
  "The ONS advises against comparing estimates across two breaks: a change to the survey's design from 14 to 25 September 2022, and the removal of a related question from 27 March to 7 April 2024."
