Iron and Steel: Imports
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate his Department has made of the additional volume of steel that will be sourced from UK producers as a result of the new tariff and quota regime.
Answered by Chris Bryant
The new trade measure, alongside our wider steel strategy, will reinforce the UK steel sector’s resilience and help us meet our ambition for domestic production to meet 40–50% of the UK’s steel demand. We will continue to monitor the measure and conduct a review after twelve months.
