Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they will respond to the Trade Remedies Authority's interim findings of its review of the UK's steel safeguard measure, published 21 February,  in particular its proposal for extending the safeguard for a further two years; and what steps they are taking to ensure that the UK steel industry remains protected from import surges in line with the Trade Remedies Authority recommendations.

The Trade Remedies Authority has published its preliminary findings of their extension review of the steel safeguard measure. Their review remains ongoing, and the Department for Business and Trade cannot comment further nor prejudice their final recommendation.
