In full: The Marks and Spencer stores closing across UK

Marks & Spencer is to close more than 100 stores by 2022 as it accelerates a transformation programme that will see thousands of jobs put at risk.

The closures will affect its clothing and home stores, which have under-performed for several years.

M&S named 14 stores earmarked for closure on Tuesday, including in The Plaza, East Kilbride and the High Street in Falkirk, with a total of 872 employees affected.
