Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has confirmed that production in its factories will remain suspended until next month at the earliest, as it continues to deal with the fallout from a cyber-attack in August.

The UK business secretary and industry minister are visiting the West Midlands for the first time since the cyber-attack to meet JLR and firms in its supply chain.

The company has been unable to produce cars since the attack at the end of August forced it to shut down its IT networks, and fears are growing that some of its suppliers could go bust without support.

JLR has confirmed that its factories - including its UK facilities in Solihull, Halewood and Wolverhampton - won't resume operations until at least 1 October.
