Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to bring forward the Clean Steel Fund, which is due to begin in 2023.
As my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State stated in his evidence to the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee on 20 July 2021, the Government is keen to have a more sustainable, long-term approach to the sector. The Department is continuing to work with the sector through the Steel Council to understand how the industry achieves decarbonisation and what support is appropriate and proportionate to assist with that.
