UK economic output
rose by 0.8% between July and September, official GDP figures show.
The Office for
National Statistics said there had been a "fairly strong" performance
across all sectors.
The data builds on
a 0.7% GDP rise in the April-June period and is the best quarterly performance
since 2010.
Chancellor of the
Exchequer George Osborne tweeted: "This shows that Britain's hard work is
paying off & the country is on the path to prosperity."
Deputy Prime
Minister Nick Clegg said the figures "show that we are firmly on the road
to economic recovery".
The ONS data for
construction was up 2.5% over the quarter, the second successive quarter of
growth after a volatile performance over the past year.
