Business Secretary Lord Mandelson has told the BBC that future of two UK car plants is "secure" following General Motors' announcement it is selling Vauxhall to Canadian firm Magna.

Magna said it was committed to keeping Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port plant open.

But doubts remain about the firm's Luton plant. The two plants account for most of the firm's 5,500 UK workforce.
