European industrial production falls in June
Unemployment in Britain has risen to 2.44 million, its highest level since the summer of 1995, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said Wednesday.
The total number of people unemployed increased by 220,000 in the three months to the end of June, the figures showed.
The Bank of England is expected later Wednesday to give its latest assessment of the current state of the economy in its quarterly inflation report.
