Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 6 February 2018 to Question 126973, if he will urgently respond to the steel sector deal proposal.


This question was answered on 13th June 2018

Sector Deals have proven to be a popular concept since suggested in the Industrial Strategy Green Paper in January 2017.

A number of other sectors, including the steel sector, have expressed interest in a Sector Deal and, as set out in the White Paper, we expect to progress with further Deals that best meet the expectations set out in the White Paper, in due course.

We continue to work with the sector, the unions and devolved administrations to support the development of a long-term viable solution for the UK steel industry.
