Britain's service sector shrank in May for the first time in five years, as costs rose and confidence in business prospects fell, a survey has shown.
The Chartered Institute for Purchasing and Supply's index of service sector activity fell to 49.8, from 50.4 in April, the first fall since March 2003.
