Yes; and what I will say about my Department is “Thank goodness we have a Conservative Secretary of State.”

May I ask what the Minister’s assessment is of the optimum level for the strategic steel industry, especially in the light of her comments about wanting to use British steel for major UK infrastructure in the future?
Anna Soubry
