Economy

Asked if the Prime Minister was concerned that, according to a report out today, we were having the most sluggish recovery since the 1930s, the PMS said that we had a clear strategy in place, which was designed to ensure we had sustainable private sector growth. The first part of that strategy was dealing effectively with public sector deficit. We were looking across the piece at different ways the Government could support private sector recovery.

Asked if the Government disputed the analysis out today, the PMS said that there was a 0.5% growth in the first quarter of this year, which followed a fall in output in the final quarter of last year. We had always been very clear that it was likely to be choppy as we came out of recession.
