To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of growth in the economy.
This question was answered on 10th March 2015
The UK economy grew by 2.6 per cent in 2014, the fastest in the G7. Growth is balanced – with all 3 major sectors (services, construction, and manufacturing) of the economy growing by 2.5 per cent or more for the first time since records began in 1990.
