Additional Information
Royal & Sun Alliance, the second insurance group in the UK, will cut 1,000 jobs in its UK branch. These cuts add up to the ones previously announced and are due to the weakening of the market and the lack of personal funding of the group. The suppressed jobs in the UK will be integraly externalised, some of them (about 100) to India.
