UK GDP growth hits 0.6% in Q2

The UK economy grew by 0.6% in the second quarter, in line with analysts' expectations and up from the modest 0.3% growth recorded in Q1.

The figure from the Office for National Statistics means the UK's annual growth rate of 1.4% is the strongest since the first quarter of 2011.

It represents the first estimate of Q2 GDP growth and reflects improved output in all of the construction, manufacturing and services sectors.
