Inflation above target: Will the Bank of England have to act soon?
UK inflation stayed steady at 2.3% in March, following rises in recent months. The biggest month-on-month rises were in food, but the figure was held down by low air fares.

Ed Bowsher was joined by Ruth Gregory, UK Economist at Capital Economics to discuss further.
