Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the UK has a strategic need to maintain a steel industry; and if not, how it can ensure industrial resilience.
The UK steel industry not only underpins a range of domestic industries, it forms the core of some local communities and economies. The Government remains committed to a UK steel industry and a decarbonised future, supporting local economic growth and our levelling-up agenda.
