Proceeding contribution from Stephen Crabb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 October 2015. It occurred during Opposition day on Steel Industry.
Steel Industry
We have absolutely been pushing for state-aid clearance on this. It is really important. As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister made clear today, as soon as that state-aid clearance is given, we will start paying the compensation to steel companies. It is worth pointing out that we have already paid out £50 million to a number of steel companies to compensate them for additional energy costs arising from environmental and climate change policies, a lot of which were imposed by a previous Labour Government.
