The UK economy grew by 0.5% in the third quarter of 2011, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The growth in the July-to-September period compared with a 0.1% expansion in gross domestic product (GDP) in the previous quarter.
The ONS said that growth in the second quarter of the year had been affected by one-off factors such as the Japanese tsunami and the extra bank holiday.
GDP is the total amount of goods and services produced by the UK economy.
