British steel is the best in the world, and we should be using it in our national infrastructure projects. On Wednesday, I asked the Prime Minister to make sure that there is British steel in HS2.
The Prime Minister has said he wants to make sure that as HS2 goes forward, it maximises the use of UK steel.
This is a good start but rest assured I will be following up on this matter in writing to secure firm commitments and will update once I have done so.
