The UK economy grew by 0.3% in November, more than expected, despite uncertainty around Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s Budget.

A more modest 0.1% expansion had been forecasted following a 0.1% fall in October.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics showed that the services sector grew by 0.3% in November, while production grew by 1.1% and motor vehicle manufacture grew a whopping 25.5% as the sector recovers following the cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover earlier last year.

However, construction fell by 1.3%.
