Osborne: Positive news that British economy is growing

George Osborne, chancellor, welcomes news that British economy is growing:

"The positive news is that the British economy is continuing to grow. It is creating jobs.

"It is positive news too that at a time of real international stability we are a safe haven in that storm. Our economy is stable at that time because the government has taken the difficult decision to get to grips with Britain's debts."
