I am aware of that issue as well, and if the right hon. Gentleman would like to include all those issues in the letter, I will be happy to provide him with a response.

I have been contacted by Coker Engineering in my constituency, which supplies Rolls-Royce, Leonardo and other defence companies.

Will the Minister similarly look at its concerns and consider exemptions for steels that cannot be sourced in the UK?
