After my visit to the steelworks last Friday, my good friend and neighbour, Andrew Percy, and I went to Downing Street again this morning to talk again to the PM about steel.
We covered a lot of issues such as energy costs, international trade and procurement. The success of our town and our country needs a strong steelworks, and since my election I’ve always put our steelworks first. I was delighted that the PM re-confirmed our steelworks in Scunthorpe has his support. As I’ve said before the PM has a brilliant understanding on steel and it was great to be able to have some further in-depth discussions this morning - he seemed very pleased with his British Steel water bottle (courtesy of the Rod Mill), hopefully he can use it on his morning jog!
