General Motors has said it plans to axe in the region of 10,000 jobs across Europe as part of its restructuring of Vauxhall and Opel.

The announcement came after the car giant's dramatic decision to scrap plans to sell Vauxhall, a move welcomed by union leaders.

No information was given on where the job cuts would be made, but the decision will impact on 5,500 workers employed by Vauxhall in the UK, mainly at Ellesmere Port and Luton.
