Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how much funding was allocated to the steel innovation grant scheme.
We are committed to providing up to £2.5bn for the steel sector, which is being delivered in part through the National Wealth Fund. The NWF has £5.8bn to invest across clean energy and advanced manufacturing sectors, including steel, and is engaging with firms on opportunities aligned with its investment principles.
No funding has been allocated to a competitive steel grant fund.
