Growth in gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 0.8% during the three months to June 30 compared with the first quarter, the Office for National Statistics said.

On a 12-month basis, the economy grew by 2.6% in the second quarter compared with the same period in 2005. The annual growth rate was also the highest since the fourth quarter of 2004.
