Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Harrington of Watford and Virendra Sharma

Tuesday 12th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Virendra Sharma (Ealing, Southall) (Lab)]

T7. What assurances has the Minister received that the British steel industry can supply Heathrow expansion sufficiently?

[Richard Harrington]

As I hope the hon. Gentleman is aware, I meet the steel industry regularly, and I am very interested to meet him to hear his views on the subject. I can assure him that everything that can possibly be done to deal with tariffs is being done. I had a meeting with all the chief executives of the steel business. I went to Brussels last week and met the director general of trade, as well as other CEOs and European colleagues.
