'No discussions' on taxpayer aid to Jaguar Land Rover suppliers
There are "no discussions around taxpayers' money" to prop up Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) suppliers, according to the prime minister's official spokesman, as the carmaker grapples with a lengthening production shutdown following last month's cyber attack.
Ministers are considering offering financial support to Jaguar Land Rover's suppliers but are understood at this stage to have ruled out a broad furlough-style scheme for their employees.
The cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which halted production for nearly six weeks at its sites, cost the company roughly £200m, it has been revealed.
The cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover is believed to have been the "most financially damaging" in UK history at an estimated cost of £1.9bn, a security body has said.
