The future of British steel-making is hanging in the balance - Angela Eagle

Angela Eagle MP, Labour’s Shadow First Secretary of State and Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, commenting on the crisis facing the steel industry following the recall of the Welsh Assembly and the meeting of Trade Unions at Congress House, said:

“The future of British steel-making is hanging in the balance.

“Labour has been demanding action for months to address the growing crisis in this vital strategic industry. The Welsh Assembly has been recalled and the steel unions are working hard to find a way forward.

“Yet the crisis continues to grow and the Tory Government is still missing in action. They have refused to recall Parliament and their response has been utterly chaotic. They need to get a grip fast; we’ve had enough of warm words, now is the time for concrete action.”
