UK inflation figures due on Tuesday

Some of the lesser lights of the London market should get their chance in the spotlight this week as no blue-chip companies are scheduled to report figures. However, economic news will be prominent, with inflation figures due on Tuesday.

Express Dairies, which is due to merge with fellow dairy firm Arla, is expected to post increased pre-tax profits, to £28.4m (€40m) from £20.8m (€29.3m) last time, in its full year results tomorrow.
