REUTERS/Rebecca Naden/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The British government is in advanced talks with Tata Steel, the country's biggest steel producer, to provide 500 million pounds ($629 million) of funding to help secure the long-term future of a key part of its steel industry, Sky News reported on Saturday. But the talks have faced difficulties over potential job losses because the new style furnaces require fewer staff. About 8,000 people are employed by Tata Steel in Britain and Sky News cited industry sources as saying the company had warned that it may need to make as many as 3,000 redundancies in the future. Tata Steel has in the past warned that without government support, it will need to consider closing its sites.

LONDON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak may announce a mini reshuffle of his Cabinet on Tuesday and is considering breaking up the government's business department into three separate ministries, a source familiar with the discussions said on Monday. The reshuffle of ministers comes just over a week after Sunak sacked Conservative Party chair Nadhim Zahawi over his tax affairs, and as the government has fallen further behind the main opposition Labour Party in opinion polls. Sunak's office declined to comment on the possible reshuffle, which was first reported by The Sun. The government's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) could be broken up to see a new energy department, with business and trade merged. The governing Conservative party is currently around 20 percentage points behind Labour in most polls.

Earlier reports said that the support package to help businesses facing high energy bills would cost the government roughly 40 billion pounds ($45.4 billion).
