Written Question
Department for Transport: Iron and Steel
Friday 4th November 2016

Asked by: Stephen Kinnock (Labour - Aberafan Maesteg)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate he has made of the level of procurement of British steel by his Department in the last 12 months.

Answered by John Hayes

Network Rail procures approximately 114,000 tonnes of steel rail per annum from Tata’s plant in Scunthorpe – approximately 95% of its direct requirements. Steel requirements for other projects funded by the Department are procured by prime contractors and therefore figures are not available. A breakdown of directly sourced UK steel is shown below for the last 13 rail periods.
