Marconi has sold off its medical systems business to Royal Philips Electronics as it battles to stave off bankruptcy.

The $1.1bn sale will wipe out almost a quarter of the company's $4.28bn debt-mountain.

Mike Parton, CEO of Marconi, has set a deadline of reducing debt to between £2.7bn and £3.2bn by the end of next March.
