	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>My ministerial team and I have had numerous discussions with the steel sector – both as part of wider discussions and on this subject alone – since the measures were announced by the US. We and our colleagues across Government have regularly raised this issue directly with the US to make our objections clear. We have also been working closely with the EU to ensure that proportionate action is taken so that UK workers are safeguarded. We remain in regular contact with the EU and the US Administration to try to reach a positive outcome. Together with BEIS officials, I will continue to engage the UK steel and aluminium companies affected by these tariffs to provide advice and support.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 15/11/2018 14:52:02 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
