Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of total cost of UK steel and steel tubes as a proportion of all steel procured by his Department in 2019.
This question was answered on 29th January 2020
In DfT, steel is only purchased directly by Network Rail. Between Jun 2018-19 the value of their UK steel procurements was approximately 93% percent of the total value of their steel contracts. The next report will be on data from Jun 2019-20. Both Highways England and High Speed Two Ltd procure steel through their respective supply chains.
