MPs will also debate a petition relating to support for the ceramics industry on Monday 6 July. The Petitions Committee scheduled the debate after campaigners called for further support for British manufacturing jobs and skills.
The petition calls for the British Industry Supercharger to be expanded to include the ceramics sector. Supporters argue that high energy costs continue to place pressure on manufacturers, particularly in areas where ceramics remains an important employer.
The debate will give MPs another opportunity to discuss energy costs and industrial support for energy intensive industries. Ministers are expected to face questions about whether current schemes provide enough help for firms competing with overseas producers facing lower costs.
