BAe to close

Defence giant BAE Systems will end days of speculation today by announcing around 3,000 job cuts.

Union leaders have expressed fury that workers at the firm have been kept waiting for confirmation of the job losses in the wake of the Government's defence cuts.

The job losses are expected to be mainly at sites in its military aircraft division in Warton and Samlesbury in Lancashire, and Brough, East Yorkshire.
