This question was answered on 27th June 2025
Steel is a top priority for this Government and there are clear plans to continue steel production at Port Talbot. After just 10 weeks in office, we negotiated an improved deal with Tata, with £500m of Government funding for the transformation of Port Talbot to Electric Arc Furnace steelmaking. The project to build a new Electric Arc Furnace will ensure that steelmaking remains at the heart of Port Talbot’s future and plays a vital role in building a modern, low-carbon UK steel industry.
