I am working with colleagues, the local steelworks and Ministers to preserve steel safeguards on a number of products produced locally. Consultations are ongoing and I am determined to ensure that the industry is not at a disadvantage to the rest of the world.
As a result, I tabled a Written Question to the Business Secretary to enquire about whether current trade remedies adequately protect steel.
I will continue to work closely with our steelworks and raise the key matters that affect them with government.
