Labour — Burton and Uttoxeter

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 June 2026

Debate

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill

Contribution

I fully support the need to buy British, but does the Minister recognise that JCB, based in my constituency, cannot source the grade and size of steel required for its machines entirely from the UK, and that a significant proportion of its steel comes from the EU? The proposed tariffs will apply to imported steel even when no UK alternative exists, so they are due to cost JCB millions. Will the Minister look into the matter urgently and meet me and JCB to discuss it?
