The British economy barely grew between April and June.As industrial output shrank, GDP expanded by just 0.2 percent from the first three months of the year. That took the annual growth rate to 0.7 percentThe figures cast doubt on the government’s ability to cut the budget deficit with austerity measures.Finance minister George Osborne blamed temporary factors — like lost productivity due to the Royal Wedding — and insists the UK is doing better than many others: “There’s enormous instability in the euro area, there’s a big argument in the United States at the moment about debt and here in Britain we’ve got a plan that has provided stability in a very unstable world and has brought our interest rates down and, you know, that has helped the economy grow.”
