-----------------------------------------------------------------------
UK economic growth slowed in the final quarter of last year, but matched

spending. Public outlays added 0.23 percentage points to total growth, 
the largest contribution since the first quarter of 2012. That countered

upwardly-revised 0.9%, the fourth straight fall and the longest stretch 
of weakness since the five quarters ending in Q3 2009.
