May 8 (Reuters) - A limited bilateral trade deal between

the United States and Britain will prevent layoffs that were

planned at a Jaguar Land Rover facility in the West

Midlands in Britain, Ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson said

on Thursday.

"This deal has saved those jobs," Mandelson said in an

interview on CNN. "That's a pretty big achievement, in my view,

and I'm very pleased that the president has signed it."
