Unions call for ambitious economic growth plans as GDP rises
UNION leaders called today for an ambitious plan for economic growth following 14 years of Tory stagnation.

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said the growth was welcome but annual growth of 1 per cent “remains well below our country’s potential.”
