An interesting final (?) comment to this thread.

I recently wrote to NS&I to ask for confirmation that RPI will be the
Index used on the Issue which I have just bought.
Their reply was that,although there are no current plans to change
from RPI, there is no guarantee that this will be used in the future
and that possibly the Index used could change and that a new ( lower )
Index could possibly be applied retrospectively to the Current Issue
when the certificates mature in 3 years time.
