Proceeding contribution from Gideon Amos (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 June 2026. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill.


Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill

I have been contacted by Coker Engineering in my constituency, which supplies Rolls-Royce, Leonardo and other defence companies. It can only use steels from certified electric arc mills of certain types and is worried about facing 50% tariffs after 1 July, once tariff-free goods have been used up. Will the Minister similarly look at its concerns and consider exemptions for steels that cannot be sourced in the UK?
