Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what information he holds on how much steel is required on average to build a family car in the UK; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 30th July 2018
The World Steel Association estimates that the global average steel use per car is around 900 Kg. Other sources produce a similar figure. We do not hold a separate figure for UK car production, but believe it will be consistent with the global figure.
