Honda car plant in Swindon to return to full production

Honda's Swindon plant is to return to full production on 19 December.

More than 3,000 staff have been working reduced hours of three half-shifts per week since September because of supply problems.

Floods had stopped production at factories in Thailand that make some electronic components for Honda cars built at the Wiltshire plant.

A Honda spokesman said the supply chain had "improved sufficiently" in order to enable full production to resume.
