Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions he has had with the Welsh Government on the use of public procurement to support the steel industry in Wales.
This question was answered on 9th December 2014
Public procurement has the potential to create significant business and growth opportunities and I have met with leaders of the steel industry in Wales to discuss how the industry can best be supported by encouraging the use of domestic steel in UK Government contracts. I have also held discussions on the steel industry in Wales with the Minister of State at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills as well as the Welsh Government.
