The UK's rate of inflation slowed in April after energy bills were cut, official figures have shown.
Consumer price inflation fell to 2.8% last month, against 3.1% in March, the Office for National Statistics said.
The Retail Prices Index, an inflation measure often used in pay bargaining, fell to 4.5% in April from 4.8%.
Last week, the Bank of England raised UK interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point to 5.5% - the highest level in six years.
Many analysts are predicting that rates will climb by another quarter point despite the slowdown in price growth.
