Tata Steel: Wolverhampton
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what discussions he has had with representatives of Tata Steel on its announcement on 8 May 2018 that it plans to sell its Engineering Steels Service Centre in Wolverhampton.
- Answer
-
Ministers and officials regularly engage with Tata to discuss a range of issues concerning the steel sector.
With regards to their announcement on the 8th May, Tata Steel have been clear that they will act as a responsible seller. The UK steel industry sits entirely within the private sector, and whilst the sale of its Engineering Steels Service Centre in Wolverhampton is a commercial decision for Tata, we will continue to work closely with them, the unions, and any new partners.
