To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate he has made of future operating subsidy requirements for publicly owned steel assets.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate he has made of future operating subsidy requirements for publicly owned steel assets.
Generally, any financial assistance to public owned steel assets would, among other things, be time-limited, targeted and proportionate to the Government's objectives, and meet our responsibilities under subsidy control rules. The finances of Forgemasters, which is publicly owned, are a matter of public record through its annual report. The Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill is completing its passage through Parliament and so no transfers to public ownership have been made under the powers proposed in that bill.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the implications for his Department's policies of the costs of decarbonisation requirements for any steel undertaking transferred under the Steel Nationalisation Bill.
If the powers contained in the SIN bill to transfer ownership of a steel undertaking were used, a full assessment of the costs of doing so and the relevance to the public interest would be undertaken. This would include any costs arising from environmental policies pursued by the Government.
Furthermore, if a steel undertaking is nationalised, the Department has committed to publish a quarterly written ministerial statement, which may consider the impact of decarbonisation policies, where appropriate.
