Chancellor George Osborne: 'Can't take economy for granted'

GDP figures have revealed the UK economy grew by just 0.3% in the first quarter - below the consensus expectation.

Chancellor George Osborne said we have reached a 'critical moment' as growth is slowing down.

However, he has said the future of the economy was dependent "on the ballot paper" and we should "stick to the plan that's delivering a brighter more secure future for Britain".
