Clegg urges caution on economy

NICK Clegg will warn Britain's recovery remains "slow and fitful" ahead of the publication of key economic data tomorrow that is widely expected to confirm the recession is over.

In a speech to business leaders tonight, the Deputy Prime Minister will strike a cautious note, despite predictions of a 0.6% rise in GDP for the third quarter.

The 2012 Olympics and a bounce-back after the Diamond Jubilee bank holidays are thought to have helped pull the economy out of the slump.
