Proceeding contribution from Lady Hermon (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 October 2015. It occurred during Opposition day on Steel Industry.
Steel Industry
When this Conservative Government were considering devolving to the Northern Ireland Assembly the power to set their own corporation tax, they were exceedingly concerned that that would be a state aid and illegal under EU legislation. However, where there is a will there is a way, and within the Stormont House talks the Government have been able to devolve that power to set corporation tax. This Government should have the will to save the steel industry in this country, and ensure that such aid is not illegal under the state aid rules.
