To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

5. Notes that the First Minister has led discussions with senior TATA management over recent months to ensure workers’ rights are protected and will continue those discussions in the coming weeks.

6. Recognises that the Welsh Government will continue to do everything in its power to protect workers, their jobs and ensure a sustainable steel industry in Wales.
