Original Note:

It was always inappropriate for the government to have a target/pledge to halve inflation. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9687/#:~:text=Freezing%20tax%20thresholds%20increases%20people's,tax%20at%20a%20higher%20rate. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/economic-update-will-lower-inflation-lead-to-interest-rate-cuts/
