The UK has finally exited recession, but figures showed that growth was just 0.1% last quarter and experts don't see a strong recovery this year.
Vince Cable, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman
"The markets will be surprised that growth has been markedly slower than expected. Far from the quick recovery the chancellor has been praying for, the economy is only just staggering back into growth.
"The British economy has had the economic equivalent of a heart attack and is still very weak. With both the construction and banking sectors in trouble, we are not out of the woods yet.
"The economy remains dependent on artificial money creation and a government running a massive deficit, but with growth of just 0.1%, Tory proposals to immediately slash government spending would be disastrous.
"Our economy is too reliant on consumer spending and debt and a failing financial services industry.
"A lasting and sustainable recovery can only be achieved if we correct these fundamental imbalances."
