The prime minister has said “confidence is returning” after official figures showed the economy grew by more than expected in January.
Rishi Sunak said the data confirmed the government’s plan is “the right one and we need to stick to it”.
The economy expanded by 0.3% in January, rebounding from a sharp fall in December.
Higher school attendance and the return of Premier League football after the World Cup helped boost the figure.
