Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 June 2026. It occurred during Urgent question on Steel Tariffs.
Steel Tariffs
The Minister will be aware that Northern Ireland operates a dual market economy, relying on the same supply base in GB and the Republic Ireland for structural steel sections. GB buyers are aggressively competing for the same limited pool of steel, making steel sourced from GB or imported directly from Northern Ireland substantially more expensive. How can the Minister ensure that Northern Ireland has access to safe and affordable steel when the odds are clearly stacked against us?
