>LONDON, ENGLAND - BRITAIN is set to cut nearly 10,000 jobs from its Ministry of Justice as part of a fresh round of budget cuts to battle the tough economic climate, The Times newspaper said on Tuesday.

The report said the government planned to make £900 million (S$2.30 billion) of savings at the department, which was created just 18 months ago. The job losses represent around a tenth of the division's workforce.

The Ministry of Justice could not immediately be reached for comment. -- REUTERS
