Camera phones banned at car plant
Camera phones have been banned at the Honda car factory in Swindon because it is feared employees may take photos of the latest models.

The company's 4,000 workers have been told to leave their mobiles at home and visitors must hand theirs in to security guards.

The ban was imposed after pictures of the new Civic car appeared without permission in a magazine.

Nobody from the Japanese firm has been available to comment.
