PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(9 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to support the steel industry.

Asked by:
Dame Harriett Baldwin (Conservative)

Answer

We inherited a situation which has seen years of entrenched under-investment. That will take time to turn around, but we are determined to do so. We are working at pace to deliver a Steel Strategy that will set out a long-term vision for a bright and sustainable steel sector in the UK, with good highly paid jobs.

The Strategy will be supported by up to £2.5bn funding that will be available through the National Wealth Fund and other routes.
