Proceeding contribution from Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2026. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill.


Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill

That is not the specific purpose of the amendment, but I am glad that the hon. Member has raised that point. I know that the Minister has heard about this issue on a number of occasions, throughout the debates on this Bill and during the urgent question last week in the Chamber. I would like to take this opportunity to reinforce the point that has been made on multiple occasions across this House about the tariff regime and the changes that are coming in. I have spoken to a number of manufacturers about the very real concerns right across the sector about the changes in tariffs. I know that the Minister is focused on that, but I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving us another opportunity to raise concerns with the Minister, which I know he has heard.

Amendment 5 would extend the Government’s reporting obligations to include progress on negotiations with the European Union—
