Firms supplying crisis-hit Jaguar Land Rover fear they are going to have to lay off hundreds more workers within days without emergency help.

Companies linked to the car manufacturer are already being stung by JLR's sudden temporary shutdown following a cyber attack.

Among them is Webasto, a global manufacturer and auto industry supplier, which employs around 350 people at its sunroof factory in Sutton Coldfield .

MP Ayoub Khan met with the firm today and described their situation as 'perilous'.
