Honda says it plans to slash 800 jobs in Britain as demand falters

“Honda Motor Europe has today announced changes to its UK car manufacturing operation to ensure the long term stability of its future business,” the group said in a statement.

“Sustained conditions of low demand in European markets make it necessary to re-align Honda's business structure. As such, Honda ... will enter into formal consultation with its associates to consider these changes and the proposal that it will reduce the workforce by 800 associates by spring 2013.”

The Swindon plant in southwest England currently employs about 3,500 staff.
