Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 June 2026

Debate

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill

Contribution

We need to get on with the Bill. As others have mentioned, we are almost in a sort of pause, whereas we need investment. That is why the proposals from the Conservative party are the exact opposite of what is required. What is required is a vision, a strategy and a commitment to the blast furnaces. Alongside that, there is a need for a new plate mill to ensure that we can have greater manufacturing capability. Other hon. Members have highlighted the concerns that we do not currently have enough of that capability. We can, we should, we must.
