Greg Clark
We do need an upgrade across many different forms of infrastructure, and that will have very important benefits to the steel industry, including in Sheffield.
Tom Pursglove (Corby) (Con)
It is hugely encouraging that the Government are developing their comprehensive industrial strategy, which I believe will give a great boost to confidence in our steel industry. Will the Minister update the House on what early discussions he has had with the industry about its role in that?
Greg Clark
I have had extensive discussions with the steel industry over the summer, as my hon. Friend will understand. It is very important that we should have a sustainable future for what has been, and is, a very important sector in our economy.
