It is important because of job losses Bruce and our export earnings.

The gov't are introducing rule changes because the business of protecting the environment and public health continues despite Brexit.
What you have to remember also is that Jaguar LR's UK production last year was at record levels........RECORD LEVELS, I say again........The real issue is probably a company that has over reached itself and is having to rein it in........Why not make a political statement at the same time and deflect the blame for poor management decisions?
Businesses can bullshit alongside the best of them.

Only the other day I read that a British billionaire is eyeing the recently closed Holden factory in SA to make electric cars.

Yes, in theory.
In practice, not many can afford to buy a new JLR car, they are very expensive.
Our volume car manufacturers here in the UK are all foreign owned and are big exporters,
Our cars will be subject to the same tariffs as EU cars coming into the UK.
The owners will make a decision based on profitability.
Honda, Nissan Toyota and Vauxhall are all based here because of free access to the EU, if they are subject to tariffs, they may decide to move.
We will have to wait and see.
Personally I think we will get a trade deal with the EU, but that it will exclude services, which are our biggest exports.
