Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the Answers of 29 April 2021 to Questions 188093 and 188094, when she expects the review to (a) conclude and (b) report.

We anticipate that the Trade Remedies Investigations Directorate (TRID) – which will become the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) on 1^st June – will complete the steel safeguard review in time for a decision by my Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade before the measure expires on 30^th June.

Before the TRA makes its final recommendation, it will publish a statement summarising the evidence and its initial conclusions. This will be open to comments.
