U.K. Consumer Spending Growth Cools

U.K. household spending was subdued last month as Britons expressed concern that Brexit will make them worse off.

Annual consumption growth slowed from January as spending in supermarkets eased, Barclaycard said in a report on Tuesday. While overall retail sales rose on the month, sales of non-food items declined in the three months through February on a like-for-like basis, according to a separate survey by the British Retail Consortium.
