Cost of living increases leading to possible inflation, with the potential to recur again and again in the time ahead, continue to be a concern for the general public. In this regard, might it be possible to set up a unit to identify the cause or causes of this? For example, some appear to be as a result of price gouging and some are probably genuine, but there is an urgent need to differentiate between the one and the other. Might it be possible at this stage to set up a particular unit in a Department to monitor what is going on and to inform the general public?
