The UK economy recorded no growth in July after 0.4% expansion in June, according to the Office for National Statistics.
In response to the latest GDP data, a Treasury spokesperson said: “We know there’s more to do to boost growth because whilst our economy isn’t broken, it does feel stuck.
“That’s the result of years of underinvestment, which we’re determined to reverse through our plan for change.
“We’re making progress: growth this year was the fastest in the G7; since the election, interest rates have been cut five times and real wages have risen faster than they did under the last government.
“There’s more to do to build an economy that works for, and rewards, working people.”
