Iron and Steel: Port Talbot
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the temporary shutdown at Port Talbot steelworks on local supply-chain businesses.
Answered by Chris McDonald
Tata Steel UK has made an operational decision to extend existing Christmas maintenance periods at three of their sites, Port Talbot Hot Rolled Products, Trostre, and Llanwern Pickle line. We know this will be a worrying time for Tata’s staff and for their local supply-chain businesses and we remain in close contact with Tata to monitor the situation and assess any potential impacts.
