00:00Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Jaguar Land Rover and the West Midlands automotive sector
00:06remain the jewel in the crown of the UK economy, despite pressure on the sector.
00:12Suppliers have warned that JLR's plan to cut 4,000 jobs could expose weakness across
00:17a supply chain supporting 183,000 jobs.
00:22Some are urging government to help to move skills and factories into aerospace and defence.
00:27Burnham says those concerns will be taken seriously, but his priority is supporting car production.
00:33The government is also pressing the European Union over proposed Made in Europe rules that
00:40industry leaders fear could disadvantage British manufacturers.
