Ministers are weighing up a direct loan worth hundreds of millions of pounds to ailing car maker Jaguar Land Rover, it was reported.

Business Secretary Lord Mandelson could approve a £500 million loan to the company, which employs around 15,000 people in the UK, the Sunday Times claimed.

The possibility of a loan comes amid fears of thousands of job losses across the industry as car sales fall away in the credit crunch.
