Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:04 pm on 31 January 2017.
By our actions, we are judged on what we have done for the steel sector in Wales: the financial support that we’ve provided; and the fact that we’ve engaged so much with Tata and other steelmakers, particularly, showing them that we steel as an important part of the Welsh economy. There’s scant reference to steel in the Green Paper itself, despite the assurances we’ve heard from the UK Government about its central importance. We need to see more detail on how the UK Government will do its bit to support the steel industry.
