The largest upward contribution to the change came from transport services, notably air fares with the timing of Easter in April a likely factor in the movement. There were also significant upward effects from food and motor fuels. The largest offsetting downward effect came from recreation and culture, particularly games, toys and hobbies (such as computer games) and data processing equipment.
