Iron and Steel: Wales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to support the steel industry in Wales.
Answered by Jo Stevens
Welsh steel has a bright future under this government. Our improved deal with Tata Steel UK has delivered £1.3 billion investment and protected over 5,000 jobs.
We have committed a further £2.5 billion for steel over the course of this Parliament with our Steel Strategy due to be announced soon.
Steel communities are the heart of Wales. I have allocated over £70 million Transition Board funding to help people, businesses and communities with retraining, business support and growth, and regeneration.
