The U.K. economy grew more than previously thought in the second quarter of 2014, new data showed on Tuesday, with gross domestic product expanding 0.9 percent from the first quarter rather than 0.8 percent initially estimated.
The Office for National Statistics also released revised data which showed the economy surpassed its pre-crisis peak earlier than previously estimated. It said the economy surpassed its pre-crisis peak in the third quarter of 2013. Previously it was thought the U.K. achieved this only in the second quarter of 2014.
