Car firm Jaguar Land Rover will have to pass "tough tests" before it gets any help from the Government, Lord Mandelson has warned.

Playing down the prospect of a quick bail-out for the British car industry, the Business Secretary said the firm's owners first had to "look to themselves".

His comments came amid mounting pressure for ministers to offer aid after US President George Bush stepped in on Friday with a 17.4 billion US dollar loan for American car-makers.
