Sir Ed Davey says the latest figures showing a dip in UK growth are "really disappointing". The Liberal Democrat leader adds that the figures are a result of the Labour government's budget, their jobs tax and their lack of a growth strategy. His comments come after the latest Office for National Statistics data showed growth contracted by 0.1% in January. Report by Brooksl.
