UK's May to speak to Peugeot CEO later on Wednesday - spokesman
LONDON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May will speak to the head of French carmaker PSA Group Carlos Tavares later on Wednesday, May's spokesman said.
Peugeot (Other OTC: PUGOF - news) manufacturer PSA is in talks to take over General Motors' European brands, generating concerns in Britain, where GM (NYSE: GM - news) operates a car plant and a van facility under the Vauxhall brand, that a takeover deal could prompt job losses and site closures.
The spokesman told reporters that the call, which had been arranged because a face-to-face meeting could not be scheduled, would take place around 1745 GMT. (Reporting by Kylie MacLellan, writing by William James, editing by Elizabeth Piper)
