Sir Keir Starmer said the situation faced by suppliers was "urgent", but admitted no support plan had yet been finalised. "I am acutely aware of the urgency of the situation and the difficulties that many of these companies are inevitably finding themselves, through no fault of course of their own,""
Jaguar Land Rover has begun a phased restart with parts of its IT systems back online. Increased invoicing capacity is enabling clearing of a supplier payment backlog. Production lines have been suspended since a cyber-attack in August, and factories remain closed until next month at the earliest. The government is working 24/7 on a support package amid concerns that some small suppliers could go bust because of the prolonged shutdown. The supplier situation is urgent and no support plan has yet been finalised. A recovery programme is under way; the global parts logistics centre is returning to full operations and wholesale vehicle systems are back online, restoring cash flow.
