Growth in the UK economy slowed in the three months to 30 June, partly because of the extra bank holiday in April.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 0.2% in the second quarter, according to the Office for National Statistics, down from 0.5% in the previous quarter.
The ONS said growth had also been slowed by some other one-off factors, including the Japanese tsunami.
Chancellor George Osborne said the growth was good news, but Ed Balls accused him of choking the recovery.
