Thank you for your enquiry. We have published all available details of historic inflation baskets on our website here.
Information for the 1956, 1976 and 2006 baskets are available. For 1966, I would suggest using either the 1962 or 1970 information as a guide. For 1986 and 1996, I would suggest using the 1987 and 1997 information respectively.
Please feel free to contact us using the CPI e-mail cpi@ons.gov.uk if you have any further questions regarding the baskets, or any other inflation related issues.
