Job losses at Jaguar Land Rover Halewood plant

That this House is alarmed at the shocking news from Jaguar Land Rover that 500 jobs are to go at its Halewood plant as it moves from a three shift system to a two shift system; notes that there will be a knock on effect in the supply chain; is concerned that ongoing uncertainty about Brexit and our future trading relationships with the EU will mean that there are more job losses to come in the North West auto industry; and calls on the Government to provide support to ensure the ongoing viability of the North West car manufacturing industry during this period of uncertainty.
