Scunthorpe Steelworks

Contribution

My Lords, we should all just reflect for a moment on the agonies that so many families who are so deeply involved in this crisis must be going through. Following the remarks that the Minister has just made, can she give us some idea of the timescale to which the Government are working? She has made much of the fact that a generous offer has been made and, obviously, there are so many different interests to balance. However, returning to the point I made at the start of this short exchange, there are, above all, huge areas of national security here. Will she ensure that, within a limited timescale, all the Government, in particular the Ministry of Defence, are involved in reaching the decisions that must be made?
