Liberal Democrat — Richmond Park

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 June 2026

Debate

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill

Contribution

I beg to move amendment 7, page 34, line 15, at end insert— “(5A) Compensation scheme regulations must include provision which specifies that payment of compensation may be made until any written estimate under section 54 (4A) is laid before Parliament.” This amendment works with Amendments 8 and 9 so as to require regulations to specify that payment of compensation cannot be made until the Secretary of State has published a written estimate of the environmental liabilities of the steel undertaking, provided to them by the independent valuer.
