Have you registered the rise in the cost of the ad free version of Amazon Prime?
We said
Thank you for your request.
We collect prices for DVD rental and video on demand in compiling the consumer price indices. Moreover, across the indices, we follow the prices of a fixed sample of goods and services so that the indices reflect changes in price, not changes in the quality of the goods and services included.
Unfortunately, we are unable to share the detailed requested information, as this constitutes personal information about a business. Section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (SRSA) renders it a criminal offence to disclose information held by our organisation for statistical purposes that would identify an individual or a corporate body.
As we are prohibited by law from publishing statistics in which individual businesses can be identified, Section 44(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
