Written Question
Iron and Steel: Wales
Wednesday 11th June 2025

Asked by: Josh MacAlister (Labour - Whitehaven and Workington)

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to support the steel industry in Wales.

Answered by Jo Stevens - Secretary of State for Wales

Welsh steel has a bright future under this government. Our improved deal with Tata Steel UK has delivered £1.3 billion investment and protected over 5,000 jobs.

We have committed a further £2.5 billion for steel over the course of this Parliament with our Steel Strategy due to be announced soon.

Steel communities are the heart of Wales. I have allocated over £70 million Transition Board funding to help people, businesses and communities with retraining, business support and growth, and regeneration.
