PRIME Minister David Cameron is being investigated by the UK Statistics Authority over claims he breached rules by hinting today's growth figures will show the UK has emerged from recession.

Mr Cameron told MPs there would be more good news on the economy ahead of highly anticipated figures out this morning.

But Labour accused him of inappropriately hinting at the GDP results a day early in an attempt to score points during his weekly questioning session.

Despite the expected good news, forecasters predict turbulent times ahead for many households. The Cebr think-tank said that even if the UK returned to growth, most workers would see little impact in their wage packets for years to come.

At Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron told MPs there had been a number of positive moves in the economy, including last week's unemployment figures. But he went on to tell Labour leader Ed Miliband: "I can tell you, the good news will keep coming."

Labour said that his comment was a clear reference to the growth figures. A source said: "This is a clear breach and David Cameron is playing fast and loose with the rules around financial information. It is both shambolic and wrong of the Prime Minister to hint at the figures."

Number 10 said the Prime Minister was trying to emphasise his belief that the Coalition Government was "on the right track".
