We have also seen estimates from the Office for the budget responsibility in terms of what the fiscal consequences of no-deal could be: that would be as much as 30 billion pounds a year. The UK’s vote to leave the European Union is a pivotal moment in British history.

The studies show the immediate impacts are not clear; in the medium to long terms (from weeks to years) all the evident suggest that no-deal would be economically more damaging for the UK economy than the UK leaving in an orderly fashion. We are however continuing to over-proportionally invest in new products and technologies, and are committed to our UK plants".JLR said the decision was "temporary" and came after a "regular review of production schedules to ensure market demand is balanced globally".It's thought that JLR isn't currently considering similar moves at any of its other UK factories.There were extended shut downs earlier in the year at JLR plants and 1,000 agency staff were laid off at Solihull.JLR has been hit by a double whammy of Brexit uncertainty, which has impacted on economic growth and confidence and dragged the car market down, combined with a huge shift away from diesels.The latter has especially impacted on JLR given that last year over 90 per cent of its UK sales were diesel.Car drivers are holding off buying diesels, worried the Government is planning to discourage diesel cars through higher taxes, with city councils looking at clean air zones and congestion charges for older diesels in particular so as to improve air quality.Add in the model mix at Castle Bromwich and you can see how the plant is exposed: despite all being great cars, the XE, XF and XJ are all 'traditional' saloons that aren't doing as well as the firm's crossovers and SUVs, given shifting market tastes.The firm cut production of Land Rovers at its Halewood plant on Merseyside earlier this year and recently said that it will - as expected - shift production of its Discovery model to its plant in Slovakia.The latter move in turn leaves spare capacity available at Solihull.I had expected by now to hear what models - including electric vehicles - will be made there in the wake of the Discovery shift but no such announcement has yet been made.That reflects ongoing uncertainty for the firm, including over Brexit.
... Brexit, diesels, new testing regime and now China are having an effect on Jaguar Land Rover, argues Professor David Bailey.
