London: British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will host a summit of leading employers and labour unions on Monday aimed at discussing plans to create new jobs.

The summit comes amid warnings that the financial crisis will result in serious job losses in the UK over the next 12 months.

Brown's office said the leader planned talks with representatives from retail, manufacturing and other industries at a meeting at London's Science Museum.

Labour unions planned to call on the government to create new jobs through public works projects, which Brown said would be funded by his $30 billion economic stimulus plan.
