LONDON, March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Britain's top component companies are refusing to spend less than a cost of a couple of pints of lager per employee for new research that could highlight the cancer risks in their industry.

The UK electronics industry, the world's fifth largest with 25,000 employees, is defying the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and government who have asked the top computer component companies to chip in to pay for the GBP600,000 report over four years.

Unite, the UK's largest union, which has already pledged GBP60,000 towards the cost, calculates that it would cost the industry GBP6 a year for each employee to fund the potentially life saving research.
