Following my meeting with the Steel Minister earlier this week, the Business and Trade Secretary came to Scunthorpe steelworks this week. It's great to have the Secretary come and visit, as she is able to see once again the quality of work that our world-class steelworkers produce.
Following the concerning news coming out of LIBERTY Steel this week, I took this opportunity to once again highlight just how important our steel industry is - not just to the steelworkers, but to other employers and workers across the community.
Our sovereign capabilities and local jobs are absolutely key to the ongoing discussions, and I will continue to do my very best to ensure that our community is protected and supported by the Government as they continue negotiations with British Steel.
