Labour — Birmingham Hodge Hill and Solihull North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 April 2025

Debate

Steel Industry (Special Measures) Bill

Contribution

The Business and Trade Committee has taken clear evidence that we need a carbon border adjustment mechanism, so that carbon-rich steel, such as that from China, is taxed much more heavily. Crucially, what is needed on the table are the steel safeguards from the Trade Remedies Authority to guard our markets from a flood tide of Chinese steel right now.
