Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 June 2026

Debate

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill

Contribution

Amendment 12 would remove provisions allowing the Government to extend the sunset clause for nationalisation powers, which can currently be extended time and again. The amendment would ensure that those extraordinary powers remain strictly time limited. I am sure the Minister will want to accept the amendment, because without it we risk open-ended intervention with no clear exit strategy.
