Metals: Sales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what discussions he has had with representatives from the metals sector on the trade of scrap metal.
Answered by Sarah Jones
I have held discussions with representatives of the metals sector on the trade of scrap metal at a steel strategy roundtable on the 25 March 2025 and at the Steel Council meeting on 30 January 2025. The British Metals Recycling Association is a member of the Steel Council.
My officials have also been attending regular meetings of the Industry Scrap Working Group, since July 2022, where steelmakers and metal recyclers are working together to ensure a suitable supply of high-quality scrap is available for future requirements.
