Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department has contingency plans in the event of disproportionate negative impacts from the implementation of steel tariffs on particular (a) industries and (b) regions.

We will be actively monitoring the implementation of the steel trade measure to ensure it operates as intended. This includes through established Department for Business and Trade stakeholder forums, Ministerial roundtables and direct business engagement. We will also review the measure after 12 months.
