PM under pressure from Tory MPs over BAE deal

DAVID Cameron has come under pressure from members of his own party to block the proposed £30 billion BAE Systems merger unless the UK's interests are protected.

Dozens of Tory MPs have made the call in a letter to the Prime Minister.

They want the French and German Governments to give up their stake in the new company that would be created by a merger between BAE and the European giant EADS.
