ONS chief economist Joe Grice says UK GDP growth accelerated to 0.8pc between July and September, with all of the main sectors experiencing growth.
The UK economy grew at its fastest pace for three years in the third quarter of the year as gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 0.8 per cent, official figures showed today.
It was the third successive period of improving output and the best performance since the second quarter of 2010, the Office for National Statistics said.
The figures, which were in line with expectations, saw all sectors of the economy grow, including a 2.5 per cent surge in construction -- a sector bolstered by Government initiatives such as Help to Buy.
