Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, whether representatives from trade unions were invited to attend the two meetings of the Tata Steel and Port Talbot Transition Board.

I invited Community, Unite and GMB trade union representatives to both of the Tata Steel and Port Talbot Transition Board meetings that have taken place so far. There have been trade union representatives in attendance at both meetings.

I also met with the trade unions outside of the Transition Board and will continue to engage interested parties from trade unions, business and the communities affected.
