Encouraging Economic News as GDP Upgrade Signals Continued Recovery

Friday's revision of GDP figures has shown that the economy grew by 0.7% in the last quarter, higher than the 0.6% originally predicted.

Commenting, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson, Stephen Williams said:

"Fixing the economy was always going to take time, but these upgraded figures are another encouraging sign that the economy is on the mend.

"After wrecking the economy, Labour spent the last years rubbishing the Coalition's growth plan. They were wrong. Slowly but surely the economy is recovering.

"The Liberal Democrats are building a stronger economy and a fairer society, enabling everyone to get on in life. Getting growth going and creating jobs is at the heart of that. We have helped businesses create a million jobs, now we want to help create a million more."
