成人快手 Monitoring cutting 72 posts
- Published
成人快手 Monitoring, based in Caversham Park, near Reading, was set up in 1939
成人快手 Monitoring is to cut 72 posts following a 拢3m cut in funding over the next two years.
The cuts to the 拢23.2m service, which is currently funded by the Cabinet Office, are part of the government's spending review outlined in October.
Director of 成人快手 Monitoring, Chris Westcott, said: "Regrettably service cuts and post closures are inevitable given the scale of the cut in funding."
The Caversham-based service translates media reports from around the world.
The proposal is to cut 拢3m from the service's costs by closing the 72 posts - about 16% of its staff - but it expects to create 18 new posts.
Mr Westcott added that a period of consultation with staff on the plans were due to begin shortly.
The 成人快手 agreed to finance Monitoring from 2013/14 as part of last year's licence fee settlement which froze the annual fee at 拢145.50 for six years.
The agreement also saw the corporation agree to take over the Foreign Office-funded World Service from 2014.
