Written question asked by Alberto Costa (Conservative) on Monday, 22 June 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 29 June 2026 (named day). It was answered by Chris Bryant (Labour) on Monday, 29 June 2026 on behalf of the Department for Business and Trade.


Iron and Steel: Imports

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when his Department plans to publish detailed information on steel safeguard quota allocations and anticipated utilisation in advance of the implementation of those measures on 1 July 2026.

Answer

Details of the finalised steel trade measure quotas were published on GOV.UK on 25 June and I gave a statement on the new steel trade measure on the same day.

The steel trade measure quotas reflect the needs of the steel industry, taking account of production capacity and demand. We therefore expect quota utilisation to be significantly higher than under the existing safeguard.
