UK economic growth slowed down following the Brexit vote in June's EU referendum - but less than predicted, official figures show.
The Office for National Statistics said GDP grew by 0.5% in the third quarter from July to September, compared to growth of 0.7% in the three months to June.
Chancellor Philip Hammond said: “The fundamentals of the UK economy are strong, and today’s data show that the economy is resilient."
Today's GDP figures for the last quarter were "better than anticipated" said ITV News Business Producer, Joanna Partridge.
The 0.5% growth in Q3 slowed from the previous quarter which recorded a 0.7% growth, but the post-EU referendum slowdown wasn't as bad as some experts had predicted.
