Davey: Dip in UK growth is really disappointing

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.
