The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many officials from his Department were on site at British Steel Limited locations in each week since 12 April 2025.
Answered by Chris McDonald
There has been a consistent senior civil servant presence on British Steel's Scunthorpe site since 12 April, supporting British Steel's management team and providing oversight of public funds. The senior civil servants are supported on site by a range of staff from the Department for Business and Trade and UK Government Investments.
