Slight fall in annual rate of inflation to 5% during October
The rate of Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation in the UK fell slightly to 5% during October, down from a rate of 5.2% the month before.
Falls in the price of food, air transport and fuel helped to push the inflation rate lower.
Despite the drop, the rate still remains well above the Bank of England's target of 2%.
