Gross domestic product showed zero growth in the July-September period, revised down from an initial estimate of 0.1 percent growth, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said in a statement.
The data covers the period of the Labour government’s first few months in office in the lead up to its highly-anticipated maiden budget at the end of October.
