India, Oct. 15 -- The UK economy expanded only marginally in August as growth in production was partly offset by the fall in construction, the Office for National Statistics said Thursday. Gross domestic product grew 0.1 percent in August from the last month. Although this was weaker than the 0.4 percent growth seen in July, the rate came in contrast to the expected fall of 0.1 percent.
Data showed that economic growth was underpinned by industrial production, as services output registered no growth and construction shrank 0.2 percent.
