PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Iron and Steel: Manufacturing Industries (18 July 2016)

Responsibility for developing and implementing an industrial strategy clearly sits within the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. We will be working closely across Government and with a range of organisations – including regional representatives, businesses, trade and research bodies, universities, and trade unions - to deliver this, to help ensure that the economy grows strongly in all parts of the country, and to support the UK’s global competitiveness.

We will be engaging with all sectors, including the steel industry through the Steel Council, to understand issues common to multiple sectors, and where Government needs to focus its effort to support UK businesses.
