Iron and Steel: Public Consultation

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government further to the reply by Baroness Lloyd of Effra on 23 March (HL Deb col 1353), which organisations they consulted on the UK Steel Strategy, and what feedback they provided.

Answer

We have engaged a broad range of stakeholders in development of the steel strategy, including through the Steel Council, policy specific roundtables and bilateral meetings.

These have included representatives from steel producers, wider companies in the supply chain (such as fabricators, manufacturers and scrap processors), academia, civil society, devolved and local governments and trade unions.

We also conducted a full consultation on the steel strategy and a call for evidence on the new trade measure it contains. The wide range of feedback received has been accounted for and referenced within the steel strategy itself.
