Molybdenum
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to ensure the security of supply of Molybdenum.
- Answer
-
Earlier this year, BEIS commissioned the British Geological Survey to carry out the UK’s first criticality assessment, and it defined 18 critical minerals with the highest supply risk and economic importance. However, the Government recognises that UK needs and international markets can change, and therefore the assessment will be reviewed regularly through the Critical Minerals Intelligence Centre (CMIC).
The Critical Minerals Strategy sets out plans to improve the resilience of critical minerals supply chains by boosting domestic capability, enhancing global markets, and playing a leading role in solving global challenges with our international partners.
