Steel Council
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when the UK Steel Council will next meet.
- Answer
-
The Steel Council was re-established in 2025 to support the development of the forthcoming steel strategy. The list of members can be found using the following link [ https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-sets-out-plan-to-secure-the-long-term-future-of-steelmaking-and-safeguard-steel-communities] and includes the British Metals Recycling Association and UK Steel which represent parts of the steel supply chain.
We have committed to revisiting the role and membership of the Council upon publication of the strategy.
The date of the next Steel Council meeting is yet to be set, but we continue to engage closely with the sector, including the wider supply chain, on key issues. The Minister for Industry and the Minister for Trade met with steel industry supply chain companies on 10 November 2025 and 19 January 2026.
