Peter Kyle, the Business Secretary, visits Webasto, a Jaguar Land Rover supplier, in Sutton Coldfield - Jacob King/PACar workers facing redundancy after the crippling cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) should sign on for unemployment benefits, the Business Secretary has suggested. Some JLR suppliers have started to lay off staff after work dried up. He said the welfare system was the main safety net for laid off JLR supply chain workers. The JLR hack is expected to leave production lines at a standstill until at least Oct 1. A JLR spokesman said: “We have informed colleagues, suppliers and partners that we have extended the current pause in production until Wednesday October 1 2025, following the cyber incident.
