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
