Proceeding contribution from Sarah Edwards (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
The Business and Trade Committee, of which I am a member, has heard evidence about the importance of the steel industry, and about the need for primary steelmaking to be retained as a key pillar of UK industrial sovereignty. We have heard that blast furnaces still play a critical role in strategic and high-grade steel production. Does my hon. Friend agree that our economic security is intrinsically linked with our onshore industrial capabilities, and that our Government’s focus on both construction and defence in these uncertain times means that this Bill is very welcome news?
