Carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has confirmed that output at some of its manufacturing sites will resume on Wednesday, as it continues to recover from a serious cyber-attack.
Its production lines have been at a standstill since the start of September, following the attack.
The phased return of staff will begin at some sites in the West Midlands and Merseyside.
JLR has also announced a programme to fast-track payments to its direct suppliers, some of which had laid off workers after their revenues dried up following the hack.
Initially the scheme will be confined to the most critical suppliers needed for restarting production, but it will be expanded at a later date.
