Anna Soubry
The Government has had discussions and corresponded with the Welsh Government on a number of occasions over the last five years on issues of importance to the steel industry in Wales. The Minister for Economy, Science and Transport in the Welsh Government attended and made representations at the Steel Summit in Rotherham on 16 October 2015. More recently, I spoke with the Minister for Economy, Science and Transport on 25th November, 15th December and on 14th January about the situation in the steel industry and progress on the “five asks” of the UK steel sector.
