Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 June 2026

Debate

Steel Import Restrictions

Contribution

My Lords, just to share with the noble Lord opposite, there were extensive discussions: the CPTPP was signed and the India trade negotiations were started under the previous Government. I should know, because I was involved in them. I have a simple question. Having worked with our counterparts and friends in India, I know they will look at this as ill thought-out. The steel strategy was not effectively co-ordinated—to address the question from the previous noble Lord—on the implications for manufacturers here who rely on steel that is imported into the country, and in particular those reliant on Indian steel.
