""We have two priorities: helping Jaguar Land Rover get back up and running as soon as possible and the long-term health of the supply chain. The business secretary and I are visiting JLR today to host companies in the supply chain, to listen to workers and hear how we can support them and help get production back online. We are acutely aware of the difficulties the stoppage is causing for those suppliers and their staff, many of whom are already taking a financial hit through no fault of their own and we will do everything we can to reassure them that the government is on their side.""
""We have made this decision to give clarity for the coming week as we build the timeline for the phased restart of our operations and continue our investigation.""
Jaguar Land Rover extended its production pause until 1 October following a cyber-attack on 31 August. The shutdown has halted vehicle production at factories in the UK, Slovakia, Brazil and India and is impacting companies across the supply chain. The business secretary and the industry minister are visiting to meet suppliers, listen to workers and coordinate support for restarting production. Unions have called for a furlough scheme for affected supply-chain workers. Jaguar Land Rover is leading support for its supply chain while continuing its investigation and planning a phased operational restart.
