UK industrial production grew more than expected in February
Office for National Statistics said, production output rose by 0.2% in the three months to February 2019, compared with the three months to November 2018, due to rises from manufacturing, and mining and quarrying.
The three-monthly increase of 0.4% in manufacturing is due mainly to rises of 2.5% from pharmaceuticals and 1.1% from food, beverages and tobacco.

In the three months to February 2019, production output decreased by 0.2% compared with the same three months to February 2018; driven by falls of 0.6% from manufacturing and 3.2% from electricity and gas.
