Iron and Steel: Carbon Emissions

Asked by David ChadwickLiberal DemocratTreasuryTabled Answered 16 December 2025UIN 98110

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to ensure that UK steel producers are not subject to additional decarbonisation-related charges that could impact their competitiveness relative to overseas producers.

Answered by James Murray

The government is committed to supporting the UK steel sector and we will publish our strategy for the sector in 2026. This will articulate what is needed to create a competitive environment and to secure UK steelmaking capability.
