The UK economy grew by more than initially thought in the second quarter of 2010, boosted by a strong performance by the construction sector.
The economy grew by 1.2% in the quarter, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said, revising up its initial estimate of 1.1% growth.
It was the fastest rate of quarterly expansion recorded since the first three months of 2001.
