Answer
The UK economy grew by 2.6 per cent in 2014, the fastest in the G7. Growth is balanced – with all 3 major sectors (services, construction, and manufacturing) of the economy growing by 2.5 per cent or more for the first time since records began in 1990.
760,000 new SMEs, 1.85 million new private sector jobs, inflation at record lows - this government's long term economic plan is working.
