Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he plans to introduce a steel import monitoring system similar to those operated by the United States and Canada.

There are no plans to introduce a steel import monitoring system, similar to those operated by the United States or Canada. However, we will continue to assess international approaches and will consider measures where they are necessary to address market distortions, support UK industry, and ensure fair trading conditions. As noted in the Steel Strategy, we are exploring the possibility of introducing a reporting requirement to identify where steel imports were melted and poured.
