Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy written question – answered at on 30 January 2023.
Bill Esterson
Shadow Minister (Business and Industrial Strategy)
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of a closer partnership between the Government and the UK steel industry.
Nusrat Ghani
The Minister of State, Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
The Government engages regularly with the UK steel sector, trade unions and devolved administrations to develop a viable long-term future for the UK steel industry. This two-way engagement is very important, particularly in the current globally challenging economic conditions.
I held a call with members of the steel sector on 6th December, met with Community trade union on the 24 January and attended the All Party Parliamentary Group (with sector representatives present) on the 25 January. I am due to meet soon with UK Steel, and I plan to hold the next steel sector call in February.
