Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 11 September 2017 to Question 9980, on iron and steel: procurement, what progress his Department has made on delivering greater UK steel content in line with the public procurement guidelines published by the Government in April 2016.
Approximately 2,500 tonnes of structural steel has been used in the construction of HMP Berwyn. 100% of this steel has been sourced from British suppliers and manufacturers. Our procurement activities will follow Government guidance to ensure we take full account of the value provided by UK steel producers.
