Glyn Davies – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Glyn Davies on 2016-06-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what steps he is taking to support British steelmaking.

Anna Soubry

This Government has taken unprecedented action to help our steel industry.

We’re cutting electricity costs by hundreds of millions, tackling unfair trade and are the first EU country to introduce new flexibility in public procurement.

We have also offered an unparalleled package of support to secure the long term future of Tata Steel’s UK operations.

That is what the steel industry has asked for and that is what we are delivering.
