House of Fraser news: All the UK store closures in full list of branches to shut

Thousands of jobs are at risk after department store chain House of Fraser revealed 31 stores are set to shut across the UK and Ireland as part of a rescue plan.

The company said the planned closures, which include its Oxford Street store, come as part of a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) - a controversial insolvency procedure in vogue among struggling retailers.

If the CVA is approved by landlords, it will affect up to 2,000 House of Fraser staff and a further 4,000 across brands and concessions.

It said the shops earmarked for closure would remain open until early 2019. House of Fraser has 69 shops in total across the UK.

The group said it also plans to relocate its Baker Street head office and the Granite House office in Glasgow to help slash costs and "secure House of Fraser's future".
