A Glasgow hotel is in a bid to expand into a car park behind it.

Premier Inn on Hamilton Road in the East End submitted a planning application to add 22 new rooms to the building.

According to the proposal, this would be done by adding a new wing to the existing hotel.

The two-storey addition would take away from the car park behind the structure.

Currently, it has 66 spaces, which would be reduced to 25 if the plans go ahead.

Documents also reveal the company's intention to convert four existing bedrooms into "breakfast rooms" as part of the development.

Glasgow City Council planning officials are reviewing the application and a decision is expected by Friday, August 16.

The last day for comments is Thursday, July 18.

Modi's govt calls on Indian state to look into Reuters report on Foxconn hiring
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on Wednesday said it has asked the Tamil Nadu state to submit a "detailed report" after a Reuters story revealed that Apple supplier Foxconn rejected married women from iPhone assembly jobs in the country. In a statement calling for the probe, the federal government's Ministry of Labour and Employment cited the Equal Remuneration Act of 1976, saying the law "clearly stipulates that no discrimination (is) to be made while recruiting men and women workers." The ministry said it has requested a detailed report from the Labour Department of Tamil Nadu, site of a major iPhone factory where Reuters uncovered Foxconn’s practice of shunning married women from jobs.

Judge puts $30 billion Visa, Mastercard settlement on hold, in signal of likely rejection
A federal judge said she's not likely to approve the $30 billion settlement between the payment processing giants Visa and Mastercard and the merchants who say they've overpaid on swipe fees. Visa and Mastercard reached a settlement with a group of small businesses and merchants back in March. The deal would lower and cap the fees charged by Visa and Mastercard and allow small businesses to collectively bargain for rates with the payment processors in a similar way that the large merchants do on their own now.

Exclusive-Poland's Orlen warned three gas companies it could seize Gazprom payments, sources say
WARSAW (Reuters) -Poland's biggest energy company Orlen warned gas companies in Hungary, Slovakia and Austria that it could seize their payments for imports from Russia's Gazprom, sources familiar with the matter said. The warnings, in letters sent over a month ago, are linked to claims for losses Poland incurred after being cut off from Russian supplies in 2022, two sources with knowledge of the letters told Reuters. Poland was cut off for not paying in roubles as Western nations imposed sanctions on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
