Hundreds of jobs are set to be axed at Rolls-Royce factories in the UK under plans for a worldwide cutback, it has been announced.
Derby, where it employs about 12,000 workers, will bear the brunt of the cuts, with about 300 jobs set to go.
Another 140 jobs are set to be lost at its plant in Ansty, Warwickshire.
The proposed job losses are among 2,600 worldwide scheduled for the next 18 months, mostly from the firm's aerospace division.
Roll-Royce said restructuring of its turbine business would lead to the possible closure of a site in Derby and one at Ansty.
