MBM Calculation

Question
Can anyone point me to the latest report that lists the basket of goods in the latest Market Basket Measure.

I found this report - hs28-178-2010-eng.pdf but have not been able to find a more up to date report and the actual goods used to calculate the mbm.

Answer
We have received the following response from subject matter regarding your request:

“Yes, the June 2010 First Comprehensive Review of the Market Basket Measure of Low Income, Final Report is the latest report available.

Yes, internet access services are included in the basket (in the other expenses component).”
