Iron and Steel: Wales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what recent discussions he has had with the Welsh Government on support for the steel industry in Wales.
Answered by Chris McDonald
Ministerial colleagues and I have had regular engagement with the Welsh Government on steel, through interministerial discussions, and official level engagement.
The Department has worked closely with the Welsh Government to develop the upcoming steel strategy and the Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Energy and Planning is a member of the Steel Council. We have collaborated on areas of the strategy that have devolved elements including skills, procurement and R&D, as well as discussions to ensure the successful transformation of Port Talbot.
