Sir Christopher Chope

Conservative — Christchurch

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 June 2026

Debate

Steel Tariffs

Contribution

That is exactly what I did on behalf of my constituent Paul Kenchington: I wrote to the Secretary of State about the specialist steel that he uses, and I have not had a reply. Why can the Minister not say today that, until we are producing this steel ourselves, he will exempt from these tariffs all the steel that is not currently made in this country? It must be simple to do that.
