  There was some good news for consumers. As a direct result of slowing demand and the fall in the price of commodities - mainly the price of oil - inflation in the sector fell to its lowest level in three years.
  
  "The startling speed of the downturn has been matched by an accompanying rapid easing in inflationary pressures," said Mr Williamson.
