We are working to safeguard the UK from this problem through effective trade defence measures and working through the G20 to ensure action is taken on global excess capacity and on the unfair subsidies that contribute to it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have worked closely with UK steel producers and businesses in their supply chains to understand the potential impacts of EU Exit and support them to prepare, and will continue to do so over the coming weeks.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government is also taking wide-ranging action to support the industry including compensation for energy costs, supporting innovation and clean steel production, and working with the industry to introduce steel procurement guidance.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 09/09/2019 09:07:12 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
