Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Emma Reynolds and Chris McDonald

Tuesday 3rd September 2024 Commons Chamber

[Chris McDonald (Stockton North) (Lab)]

T7. Will the Chancellor of the Exchequer confirm that her decisions are targeted at winning new investment in green industry in places such as Billingham in my constituency?

[The Parliamentary Secretary, His Majesty’s Treasury (Emma Reynolds)]

I welcome my hon. Friend to this House, because he brings a great deal of expertise on green steel from his previous career. This Government’s plan to launch the national wealth fund is precisely to create investment across the country in some very important strategic industries, and that includes decarbonisation of steel and the steel industry.
