GDP rose by 0.1% following October’s 0.1% decline

Services output grew by 0.1% in November after falling by 0.1% in October, revised lower from no growth, but showed no growth in the three months to November, the ONS said.

Production output fell by 0.4%, following October’s fall of 0.6%. It was down by 0.7% in the three months to November, driven by a decline in manufacturing.

I am determined to go further and faster to kickstart economic growth, which is the number one priority in our Plan for Change.

That means generating investment, driving reform and a relentless commitment to root out waste in public spending, and today I will be pressing regulators on what more they can do to deliver growth.
