The UK construction suffered a sharp fall in output during October official figures have illustrated.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said output dropped by 2.2% from the month before.

However, the good news is that they made a revision to construction output growth for the third quarter of the year, which doubled to 1.6%.

The ONS said this could mean that overall economic growth in the quarter, potentially, could be revised up to 0.8% from 0.7%.

It said this assumed growth in manufacturing and services remained unchanged in the quarter. The ONS publishes its third and final estimate of GDP for the third quarter on 23 December.
