The UK economy grew at its fastest rate for two years in the second quarter of this year, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said.
UK GDP grew by 0.8% between April and June, compared to the previous quarter.
This took the growth rate up to 2.6% and boosted chances that the Bank of England will raise interest rates soon.
Analysts had expected GDP to grow at 0.7% during the quarter.
