Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the UK steel sector’s commitment to increase capital investment in the UK in the event that the Government takes steps to ensure a level playing field on electricity costs.
This issue is related to electricity costs for the steel industry and was highlighted in the recent UK Steel report “Closing the Gap”. We welcome this report and will give its recommendations careful consideration.
