Proceeding contribution from Samantha Niblett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Saturday, 12 April 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Steel Industry (Special Measures) Bill.
Steel Industry (Special Measures) Bill
What is happening today is something that mining communities like Swadlincote, in my constituency of South Derbyshire, will be feeling deeply in their souls. It is something that they could have only dreamed of back in the 1980s, when they wanted a Government who had their backs and prioritised the national interest. Instead, they had a Conservative Government who sold them down the river. Does the Secretary of State agree that this is a pivotal moment in our history, because we have a Labour Government prioritising our people and the national interest?
