Liberal Democrat — Richmond Park

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 June 2026

Debate

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill

Contribution

Thank you for your guidance, Madam Chair. I will reframe my remarks slightly, because they relate to the intervention that I took. Steel producers in the UK are heavily integrated into international supply chains, and continued access to frictionless or improved export arrangements is vital for sustaining jobs and production. From 1 July, the Government will limit tariff-free steel imports. Although in many ways that will support business, there is a lack of certainty about costs and the impact on downstream manufacturers is still opaque.
