LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May will speak to the head of French carmaker PSA Group (>> Peugeot) Carlos Tavares later on Wednesday, May's spokesman said.

Peugeot manufacturer PSA is in talks to take over General Motors' (>> General Motors Company) European brands, generating concerns in Britain, where GM operates a car plant and a van facility under the Vauxhall brand, that a takeover deal could prompt job losses and site closures.

The spokesman told reporters that the call, which had been arranged because a face-to-face meeting could not be scheduled, would take place around 1745 GMT.
