Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to support the steel industry in Wales.
This question was answered on 11th June 2025
Welsh steel has a bright future under this government. Our improved deal with Tata Steel UK has delivered £1.3 billion investment and protected over 5,000 jobs.
We have committed a further £2.5 billion for steel over the course of this Parliament with our Steel Strategy due to be announced soon.
Steel communities are the heart of Wales. I have allocated over £70 million Transition Board funding to help people, businesses and communities with retraining, business support and growth, and regeneration.
