    Premier Inn owner Whitbread said it would cut about 3,800 jobs in the UK and Ireland and close its remaining Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants.

    About the figure: Article says the cuts affect about 12% of the 30,000 UK and Ireland workforce; percent left null because that is not the whole company.
