Sarah Jones

Labour — Croydon West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 April 2025

Debate

Scunthorpe Steelworks

Contribution

As I said about 10 days ago, economics and jobs, not ideology, will drive the decisions that we make. The hon. Member is right to point to lots of speculation about the need to buy raw materials. I assure him that we are having those conversations with British Steel, and we will continue to do so. As I said, our preference is for a commercial solution, with Government providing support, but all options remain on the table, and I can assure him that we are working at pace.
