Australia and New Zealand Trade Deals

Steel Safeguards

Iron and Steel: USA
Friday 10th December 2021

Asked by: Stephen Kinnock (Labour - Aberafan Maesteg)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether the Northern Ireland protocol has been referenced in discussions between UK and US Government ministers and officials on the prospect of the exemption of UK steel companies from section 232 tariffs.

Answered by Ranil Jayawardena

The Northern Ireland Protocol and Section 232 tariffs are two entirely separate issues. We do not see any connection between these particular issues and will not perpetuate such false narratives.

Written Question
Iron and Steel: UK Trade with EU
Monday 11th January 2021

Asked by: Stephen Kinnock (Labour - Aberafan Maesteg)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on tariff free access for UK-produced steel to the European market.

Answered by Greg Hands

The Government has worked successfully with the European Commission to secure country-specific allocations for some steel products within the Tariff Rate Quotas (by which the EU imposes its steel safeguard measures) to enable UK companies to trade tariff-free into the EU. These tariff-free allocations came into operation on 1 January 2021.
