Before I finish, I have three issues that I would like the Minister to address, if he could, when he responds to the debate. First, we need to bring clarity to what nationalisation would mean in this context. My understanding is that were British Steel to be nationalised, it would effectively remain a private company, but its primary shareholder would be the Government, and commercial leaders with relevant sector experience would be brought in to run it. Can the Minister confirm that the best commercial minds from the steel manufacturing industry and other relevant industries would be recruited to run the company and that that is how it would function?
