According to the Office for National Statistics UK manufacturing fell in April by 0.4% where it was predicted to rise by 0.5%.
The main sectors responsible for the downturn were transport, food and drink, electrical and tobacco.
The figures showed that Britain’s trade in goods was £7.3bn in April, with weaker Sterling failing to give our exports a boost.
The figures show that the UK is not moving away from the recession as planned and this could have an impact on the emergency budget measures on 22 June.
