A group of MPs has written to the government to ask for support as companies in Jaguar Land Rover’s supply chain deal with the fall-out of a recent cyber hack. Estimates suggest that around 200,000 people are employed in the company’s supply chain, and MPs are seeking financial support for these firms, some of whom fear they could go bust. Antonia Bance, Labour MP for Tipton and Wednesbury, said she had heard from companies in JLR’s supply chain that were experiencing cash-flow problems. Sharon Graham, Unite general secretary, said: “Workers in the JLR supply chain must not be made to pay the price for the cyberattack. “Ministers should take the lead from the Scottish government’s support package for Alexander Dennis staff and implement a similar scheme for workers in the JLR supply chain now.”Minister for industry Chris McDonald said he had met with JLR bosses and would meet with supply chain businesses in the coming days.
