This question was answered on 24th June 2019
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is currently considering whether to become a signatory to the UK Steel Charter.
The MOD is committed to addressing any barriers preventing UK steel suppliers from competing effectively in the open market. This includes, for example, publishing our future pipeline for steel requirements on GOV.UK, which enables UK steel manufacturers to better plan and bid for Government contracts.
