Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the UK is not left behind following a potential agreement between the US and EU on Global Sustainable Steel and Aluminium.

The UK is monitoring developments of the US-EU negotiations on the Global Arrangement for Sustainable Steel and Aluminium and we await the outcome on what may be agreed between the two parties.

In the meantime, we engage regularly with the steel and aluminium sectors to make sure there is a clear voice for industry and we are ready to act in the best interests of the UK.
