Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 June 2026

Debate

Steel Import Restrictions

Contribution

I am afraid the noble Earl did not hear my earlier answer. No one wants tariffs. They are always the last resort when we have no alternative to protect our domestic industry. Furthermore, with steel, most imports do not even meet the quota of 60%. Until it hits 60%, the 50% does not come in.
