mpc: 12 The ONS provisional estimate of GDP growth in Q1, at 0.6%, had been materially weaker than envisaged in the Committee's February projections. Other evidence, such as business surveys and reports from the Bank's regional Agents, was consistent with a higher figure, and the Committee put some weight on this latter evidence. The available information suggested that underlying demand had remained strong, and a stronger figure for output growth would also be more consistent with the rise in employment.
